An index doesn’t just happen. It’s created by an index provider to meet one or more objectives, such as providing a benchmark, serving as the basis of a financial product, or both. Having identified the index’s purpose and determined that it can be calculated, the provider can begin to develop its methodology, which involves: Defining the index’s focus and scope. Identifying the securities that will form its portfolio. Determining how the index will be weighted. Setting the criteria for changing the components of the index, how those changes will be made and deciding how it will be calculated. If you’re investing in an index-based product, you need to know how the underlying index is weighted and what impact that weighting system is likely to have on performance. Most equity indexes are market-cap weighted. These indexes are sometimes described as providing the most accurate reading of what the market is doing. That’s because the largest companies with the most shareholders tend to have a greater impact on market return than smaller companies that are less widely held. However, there can be a disconnect between index results and the economy if the robust performance of a few large companies drives the index up Read more…

Retirement Funding
Even if you’re just starting your first real job—actually, especially if you’re just starting your first real job—it’s time to start thinking about retiring. That’s not a comment on how motivated—or unmotivated—you are, or a suggestion that you should wish your life away. It’s just reality. That’s because you, like many people, will be responsible for supporting your- self during the 30 or 40 years you can expect to live after you retire. To do that, you need a source of income that will stretch further than the safety net of Social Security and be more reliable than winning the lottery. Some—but increasingly few— employers offer traditional pensions, which pay you retirement income based on your final salary and time on the job. Others contribute to a cash balance, profit sharing, or other plan on your behalf. But most employers offer you, instead, the opportunity to participate in a tax-advantaged salary reduction plan, such as a 401(k). 401(k) plans are the most common, and best known, employer sponsored salary reduction plans. But they’re not the only ones. If you work for a not-for-profit organization such as a school or college, a hospital, a cultural institution, or a charitable organization, your employer may offer Read more…
