Size indices refer to stock market indices that categorize companies based on their market capitalization, such as small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap indices. These indices track the performance of companies within a certain size range, offering investors a way to compare the performance of different market segments. Common size indices include the S&P 500 (large-cap), the Russell 2000 (small-cap), and the S&P MidCap 400.
An investor might track the Russell 2000 index to gauge the performance of small-cap stocks, which tend to have higher growth potential but greater volatility compared to large-cap stocks.
