The
Standard and Poor's (S&P) Corporation Index is designed and
maintained to be an accurate proxy for a diversified
equity portfolio. It is capitalization-weighted and
float-adjusted, representing the market value of all
outstanding common shares of the 500 firms listed
(share price x shares outstanding). This means that
a change in the price of any one stock influences
the Index in proportion to the relative market value
of that firm's outstanding shares.
The
weightings make each company's influence on the
respective index's performance directly proportional
to that company's market value. It is this
characteristic that has made the S&P 500 Index the
investment industry's standard for measuring the
performance of actual portfolios.
What is the CME S & P 500
futures full contract worth?
The S & P consists of the 30 Dow stocks and
the next 470 largest stocks to make it 500 different stocks.
Index value x $250= One S & P 500 Full futures
contract value.
To understand how
much the S & P Index Futures leverages simply take the S & P Value ex. 1400
x
$250= $350,000 worth of stocks.
