The S&P 100 is a stock market index that tracks the shares of 100 large, well‑established U.S. companies selected for size and ease of trading; think of it as a basket representing the biggest, most widely traded American firms.

The S&P MidCap 400 is a group of 400 companies that are smaller than the big, well-known corporations but larger than tiny startups. It helps investors see how medium-sized companies are performing in the stock market, acting like a barometer for this middle-sized group of businesses.

A stock market index made up of 600 small-cap U.S. companies chosen to represent the performance of smaller publicly traded firms. It matters to investors because it acts like a temperature gauge for the small-company segment of the market, serving as a benchmark for fund managers, a basis for index funds and ETFs, and a way to compare returns and risk when building a diversified portfolio.
