The S&P 500 Stock Map tracks stocks using the same compositions and allocations of stocks in the S&P 500 index. The prices, volumes, average volumes and other information of sectors and industries are calculated similarly by Bull Laboratories (BullLabs.com). The indexes are calculated based on the market capitalization (daily price multiplies shares outstanding) of the underlying components (stocks or industries) in the level. Sector and Industry specific indexes allow investors to benchmark the performance of investment based on specific stock market sectors or industries. Just as all stocks tend to move based on the underlying factors that drive the overall market, stocks in a similar industry tend to move based on underlying factors that affect the industry. One of the most basic methods for understanding the risk of an investment portfolio is to determine its sector breakdown. Is the portfolio spread across different industrial sectors or is it concentrated in just a few? This provides a good indication of how an investment portfolio will respond to macroeconomic factors or industry trends.
