financial indices
Economic performance trackers
Financial indices are statistical measures that track the performance of a group of assets, typically stocks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are indices reflecting U.S. stock market health.
Indices serve as benchmarks: The fund outperformed its index by three percent.
Investors can buy index funds that mirror these baskets rather than picking individual stocks.
