Indices

What are indices?

Indices are financial instruments that track the performance of a group of stocks or other assets, representing a particular market or sector. They provide a snapshot of overall market performance and are used as benchmarks for measuring investment performance. Indices are traded through financial derivatives such as index futures and ETFs, allowing investors to gain exposure to the broader market without having to buy individual stocks. Fluctuations in indices reflect changes in the underlying assets’ prices, providing opportunities for traders to speculate on market trends.

Diversification
