Nov. 20, 2017 | Index Construction S&P 500 vs. MSCI World - a podcast by WBI

Just how different are these two major market indexes? Matt Schreiber explains why investors might not be as diversified as they think.

S&P 500 TR Index: includes a representative sample of large-cap U.S. companies in leading industries where all cash payouts (dividends) are reinvested automatically. MSCI World TR Gross Index: captures large and mid-cap representation of 23 developed markets with 1,653 constituents, covering approximately 85% of free-float capitalization of each country. MSCI makes no express or implied warranties or representations and shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any MSCI data contained herein. The MSCI data may not be further redistributed or used as a basis for other indexes or any securities or financial products. This report is not approved, endorsed, reviewed, or produced by MSCI. None of the MSCI data is intended to constitute investment advice or a recommendation to make (or refrain from making) any kind of investment decision and may not be relied on as such.
