The Wilshire 5000 is often regarded as the broadest-based index of U.S. stocks because it includes all publicly traded companies in the U.S., ranging from small-cap stocks to large-cap stocks. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average only tracks 30 large-cap stocks, and the Standard and Poor's Composite includes only 500 stocks. The Financial Times Index also does not represent U.S. stocks as it tracks companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.
