Discover more about S&P Global's offerings
When Charles Dow created the first major market index in 1896, he ignited a spirit of innovation that has stuck with us for more than a century.
That spirit flows through the Dow Jones Industrial Average®— the world’s longest-standing index and most-cited measure—and the S&P 500®— the blueprint for modern portfolio theory—as well as the hundreds of thousands of indices we’ve launched since then.
We have always played a pivotal role in the ever-evolving global economy. Today, as we break new ground in areas such as ESG, factors, and retirement strategy, we’re driven by both a hunger for new solutions and 125 years’ worth of wisdom.
Using the S&P 500 as its benchmark, the first index mutual fund launched in 1976, ushering in the era of passive investing and leveling the field for investors worldwide.
Today, we’re creating opportunities for individual and institutional investors alike. Our indices underlie hundreds of products ranging from index mutual funds, ETFs, and annuities to futures and options.
Approximately one-third of index mutual funds are linked to the S&P 500 and more than a quarter of all ETFs are linked to an S&P DJI index.
Our indices—now numbering in the hundreds of thousands—span every major asset class, as well as markets large and small around the globe.
Whether used as a portfolio benchmark or as the basis for an investment product, independence, transparency, reliability, and integrity are key to every S&P DJI index.
Independence.
As an independent index provider, we remain objective and avoid conflicts of interest by never selling investment products and ensuring separation between the index maintenance and commercial sides of the business.
