Talk:Stock market indexing

I have revised the page links, but did not research if any related descriptions need to be updated. Compare revision history to see these changes:


 * Russell is now FTSE Russell, the indexes are now grouped under a US Equity page.

US size and style
 * I could not find the Dow Jones style rule book (Dow Jones Style Indexes is a broken link), so I deleted the link.


 * Dow Jones rule books can be downloaded from Dow Jones Total Stock Market Indexes Literature Center, . --Blbarnitz 06:32, 20 January 2016 (EST)


 * I did not see the rule books there. However, I did find the rule book from a representative fund. S&P 500 GROWTH, then the drop-down arrow under Methodology. S&P U.S. Style Indices Methodology, September 2015. --LadyGeek 19:59, 20 January 2016 (EST)

US sectors:
 * Dow Jones "Select Sector" appears to be just "Sector"
 * The MSCI Global Sector Indices was listed in the US sector, I removed the link.
 * Dow Jones Select Indices comprise international and global real estate indexes. Downloads available at Dow Jones Indexes Literature Center. Select Alternative Asset Class sidebar dropdown, then select Dow Jones Real Estate Indices. --Blbarnitz 06:32, 20 January 2016 (EST)
 * I have incoroporated the link. There was no direct URL; I included a path to the section. --LadyGeek 19:59, 20 January 2016 (EST)

Global indices:
 * I didn't see "MSCI Global Indices", so I linked to the MSCI cap-weighted indices page - it shows all the indexes.

Construction methodology: --LadyGeek 21:41, 17 January 2016 (EST)
 * The FTSE UK Index Series methodology didn't list any specific rules, just "ground rules"
 * The effect of banding on Russell Indexes no longer exists, so I replaced it with Russell US Indexes Construction and Methodology
