The Dow Jones Explained

What is the Dow Jones Industrial Average? We'll explain the history of the Dow and why it's an important metric for the U.S. stock market. We'll also cover a few critiques of the index and why some people prefer using the S&P 500® over the Dow.
You’ve probably heard of names like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite being used frequently in daily financial news or even in general conversations about the stock market, but what do these names represent?

The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite are the 3 main stock indices in the United States. A stock index is simply a measure of the performance of a group of stocks. Stock market indices are mainly used as indicators of how a specific country’s stock market and economy are performing.

Stock market indices are also used as benchmarks for investors to compare the performance of the stocks they own. For example, an investor with a strong stock portfolio will match or outperform the performance of the index it is being compared to. There are hundreds of stock market indices around the world such as the DAX which measures the performance of 30 major German companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Nikkei which measures the performance of the 225 most important companies in Japan, but let’s take a closer look at the top 3 indices in the United States and how to invest in them.
