INDEX SUMMARY |
 |
|
The NASDAQ 100 Index (Symbol: NDX) is a stock market index of 100 of the largest domestic
and international non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. It
is a modified market value-weighted index; the companies weights in the index are
based on their market capitalization, with certain rules capping the influence of
the largest components. It does not contain financial companies, and includes companies
incorporated in Canada, Israel, India, Singapore,
Sweden, Switzerland and Ireland; both of these factors differentiate this index from the
S&P 500.
The NASDAQ 100 Index began on january 31, 1985 as a way for the Nasdaq Stock Market
to support enhanced media coverage for itself. The index was introduced the same
day as the Nasdaq Financial-100 Index and as a result, financial companies were,
and still are, excluded from the NASDAQ 100 Index. The base price of the index was initially
set at 250, but when it was reset at 125 on December 31, 1993 leaving the halved NASDAQ 100 Index price below that of the more commonly known NASDAQ Composite.
