Frequently Asked Questions
- Does trading SP500 give me any ownership in the 500 companies in the index?
- No. SP500 is a synthetic perpetual with no delivery mechanism or arbitrage bridge to the actual index constituents or any index fund. It gives price exposure to the index level only — there are no shareholder rights, no dividends, and no claim on any of the underlying companies.
- What currency is the SP500 index quoted in?
- The S&P 500 is a U.S. index of U.S.-listed companies, and its level is conventionally quoted in U.S. dollars. SP500's price follows that USD-denominated index level directly.
- How is SP500 different from other names, like XYZ100?
- SP500 tracks a broad, 500-company index spanning all major U.S. sectors, including financials. XYZ100, by contrast, tracks a narrower index of 100 of the largest, most actively-traded non-financial U.S. companies — a benchmark skewed toward technology and growth.
