Index
Statistical measure of the markets as a whole, or of particular segments of the market, based on representative stocks, bonds, or other types of securities. Unlike averages, indexes can be complex calculations that include weighting for various factors. Examples of indexes are the Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks, the Russell 2000 Index, and the NASDAQ-100 Index.
