The S&P 500 was first introduced on March 4, 1957, by Standard & Poor's, a leading financial services company. The index was created to provide a comprehensive measure of the US stock market's performance, replacing the earlier S&P 90 index. The S&P 500 is a market-capitalization-weighted index, meaning that the companies with the largest market capitalization have a greater influence on the index's performance.
