Asked by Tance G - Mon Mar 9 13:18:44 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The question is actually a very interesting question. Here is why. Both indexes are capitalization weighted. What that means to you the investor is that both on a market value basis are going to contain very nearly the same weight of stocks. What I mean by that the top 10 holdings of both will contain exactly the same stocks in almost exactly the same proportions. Even though the total market index contains many more stocks the additional stocks make up a very small portion of the total. The top 10 holding of the 500 index make up 22% of the total but only 18.5% of the Total Market index--not all that much difference. When you compare the returns over the years of the two they again are very similar. The 10 year return for the 500… [cont.]

how do I calculate the P/E of a Stock market index?
Q. I am aware of how P/E is calculated for a stock , need to understand how it is calculate for the broader market index
Asked by pk - Wed Mar 1 01:11:49 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You will need the stock prices at the time divided by the earnings per share and proportioned off by the weight given to them. You will have to know all the P/Es of all the stocks and the weight given to all the stocks. Many ETFs only list the top weighed stocks in their index. Some will give you the names of all their stocks but not how they calculate the weight. They might do it to prevent a true mimic of their index without paying the fees to own the index. Generally they will mention the PE on their own.
