E-mini S&P 500 Futures Contracts (ES) - Explained by Chris

The S&P 500 is an American stock market index that was designed way back in 1923. Initially, it was named “The Composite Index” and contained 90 companies. However, throughout the years, the index coverage expanded, and today, it includes the shares of the 500 largest companies by market cap, listed on NASDAQ and the NYSE. Today, the broad-based, capitalization-weighted index is considered a vital indicator of the stock market’s health.

At first, when the index was composed of fewer companies and their shares were cheaper, investors were able to purchase it directly. However, over time, as the number of constituents rose and their shares became more expensive, investing directly started to become very hard.
