Market Index: A Collection of Stocks

Indices came into existence as a result of investors requiring a way to analyse the overall performance of the financial markets. Therefore, stock indices emerged as they are representative of the total average market value based on several top-performing stocks.

They were designed with the aim of providing a quick glance at the market for investors and offers a way for them to gauge the performance of their individual portfolios. As a result, they could accurately zero in on specific underperforming investments and adjust them to be more in line with the general market trends.

These days, there are hundreds of stock indices globally, representing companies nationally, regionally, globally, and even by industry.
