Description - S&P 100 Index Stock Market Investing & Trading System
The S&P 100 is not just a list of the largest 100 companies. It is an index of 100 of the most widely held U.S.-based common stocks, chosen by the S&P Index Committee for market size, liquidity, and sector representation. According to the Index Committee, "Leading companies in leading industries" is the guiding principal for S&P 100 inclusion. While widely traded international companies are included, the Index Committee recently announced that only U.S.-based companies will be added in the future. The S&P 100, a subset of the S&P 500, is comprised of 100 leading U.S. stocks with exchange-listed options. Constituents of the S&P 100 are selected for sector balance and represent about 57% of the market capitalization of the S&P 500 and almost 45% of the market capitalization of the U.S. equity markets. The stocks in the S&P 100 are generally among the largest and most established companies in the S&P 500. In past years, turnover among stocks in the S&P 100 has been even lower than the turnover in the S&P 500. S&P 100 Index Capitalization
