Benchmark A standard against which the performance of a security, index, or investor can be measured. Notes: Most equity mutual funds and portfolio managers use the S&P 500 index as the benchmark to beat.When evaluating performance of any investment, it's important to compare against the right benchmark. For example, comparing a bond fund to the Russell 2000 (which is an index of small-caps), is not meaningful. See also: Benchmark Bond, DJIA, Index, Index Fund, Index Hugger, Passive Management, Russell 2000, S&P 500, Wilshire 5000 Index Benchmark The performance of a predetermined set of securities, used for comparison purposes. Such sets may be based on published indexes or may be customized to suit an investment strategy.
