Broad-based stock indices, such as the S&P 500, are defined as a basket of securities where the weight of any single constituent cannot be greater than 30% and the weight of the five largest components cannot exceed 60% of the index. All other indices are said to be narrow-based and are regulated identically to single stock futures.
