To name a few some of the World Major Stock Markets Indexes: FOR ANY REFERENCES PURPOSES
...................................................
Global Stock Market Indexes
Global stock market indexes track equities from all around the world. For example, the MSCI World Index tracks large and mid-cap equities across 23 developed countries covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.2 It’s worth noting that global stock market indexes weighted by market capitalization don’t offer exposure to emerging markets or frontier markets since they’re too small for inclusion.
Along with the MSCI, some of the most popular global stock market indexes include:
- FTSE All-World Index
- S&P Global 100 Index
- S&P Global 1200 Index
- Dow Jones Global Titans 50
- Russell Global Index
Regional Stock Market Indexes
Regional stock market indexes track equities from specific regions around the world. For instance, these indexes may cover Asian, European, or Latin American equities. They help investors and analysts compare the performance of specific countries to a general region to highlight what assets are over- and under-performing. The funds tied to these indexes may also be helpful in building exposure to specific regions of the world.
Some of the most popular regional stock market indexes are listed below.
Asia
- S&P Asia 50 Index
- Dow Jones Asian Titan 50 Index
- FTSE ASEAN 40 Index
Europe
- Euro Stoxx 50 Index
- FTSE Euro 100 Index
- S&P Europe 350 Index
Latin America
- S&P Latin America 40 Index
National Stock Market Indexes
National stock market indexes provide exposure to individual countries. In some cases, the equities in these indexes will consist entirely of large-cap stocks, similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the United States.3 In other cases, the equities may be considered small-cap since the country may not have many large companies. This is often the case in emerging market and frontier market economies.
