Most investors reference the returns of popular indexes frequently. But most also do not understand the details of how those indexes are constructed. In this episode, we take a deep dive into index construction with Bloomberg’s Athanasios Psarofagis. We start with basic indexes like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ and move to more complex ones like the Russell and S&P value and growth indexes. But in all cases, we look at the behind the scenes details of how the index is built and how that impacts the returns they generate for investors.
