The Cheapest ETFs For Most Popular Indexes

Video Length: 00:12:45

The three most widely followed US stock indexes—S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq—are tracked by many ETFs and mutual funds.

The S&P 500 represents approximately 80% of the US stock market. It is a market-cap-weighted index of 500 leading US companies. Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report), Apple (AAPL - Free Report) and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) are its top holdings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted measure of 30 US blue-chip companies selected by the editors of the Wall Street Journal.

Boeing (BA - Free Report) and Home Depot (HD - Free Report) are its top holdings. Google-Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) are not included in the index because their prices are too high and they will change the index too much.

Nasdaq 100 is a large-cap growth index. It holds 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet are its top holdings.
