Stockmarket index

A stockmarket index is a tool for measuring the performance of an entire stockmarket or group of related stocks. These indices are often associated with particular stock exchanges or industries. They exist because changes in a market index can reflect a more general price trend than a change in individual stock prices.

There has been an accelerating trend in recent decades to create investment funds that are based on market indices. These are called [index funds]?.
