Details

Data for the S&P® 425 Industrials is taken from a paper copy of the S&P® Analysts' Handbook published in 1967. The average price level of the index in 1941-1943 was set to 10. The index is based on 70 individual groups, and price information on it was backfilled to 1918, though we do not have access to it. The original S&P® 500 index was created in late February 1957 and included 425 industrial stocks, 15 rail stocks and 60 utility stocks. It maintained this composition until July 1976 when finance stocks were added to the index.
