They generally consist of large, liquid stocks listed on the stock exchange. They serve as a benchmark for measuring the performance of the stock market or portfolios such as mutual fund investments. In many broad-based indexes, companies are weighted based on their market value. This means that larger companies carry more weight in determining the index price compared to smaller ones.
