The S&P 500 index includes roughly 500 large-cap U.S. stocks and is often used as the key benchmark for measuring the broader stock market’s performance. Over the last five years, the benchmark index has delivered a total return of 109%. Over the last decade, it has produced a total return of 257%.
Investing in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks that S&P 500 index is a great, low-risk investing move, but there are also stocks that are part of the index that will go on to produce returns that crush the index’s average.
