Started in 1991, the S&P MidCap 400 Index tracks a diverse basket of medium-sized U.S. firms. A mid-cap stock is broadly defined as a company with a market capitalization ranging from about $2 billion to $10 billion. Although the S&P 400 is not as popular as some of the larger indices (such as the S&P 500), it is an important benchmark for many fund managers who invest in this segment. This index contains solid firms with good track records that are simply not large enough to be included in the much larger S&P 500 index.
