A benchmark is a proxy for a market, economy, class of equity, or sector, generally setting a standard against which the performance of a stock, bond, mutual fund, commodity, or other security is measured.
Benchmarks are also used to gauge the health of a market, sector, or entire economy.
Examples
- The S&P 500 (.SPX-E) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJIA) are often used as benchmarks for the United States economy in general. That is to say, their performance is used both to gauge the health of the economy and as a reference of comparison for the performance of a stock portfolio or mutual fund.
- The Nikkei 225 (NK225-OK) is used as a benchmark for the Japanese economy.
