How do I find historical monthly and annual total returns for the S&P 500?
Capital IQ (available in the Business Library): Search for the S&P 500 index (^SPX) to access its profile. In the Index Values section there is a drop-down menu to select a return type. Select a type and hit Go, and it will redirect to the Chart Builder tool where you can modify the date range to view historical data. To view daily data from the chart in a table, click the Excel icon in the top right corner of the screen.
