Frequently asked questions

How many S&P 500 stocks are in this list?

130, drawn from our US exchange-listed universe and spread across 11 sectors. 95 of them pay a dividend.

Is this a list of S&P 500 stocks to buy?

No. It is a screen — a defined, reproducible filter over a stated universe. A screen tells you which companies share a characteristic; it says nothing about whether the price you would pay today is a sensible one. Nothing here is investment advice.

What is the main risk with S&P 500 stocks?

Index membership is not a quality screen. Companies are added near their peak weight and removed after the damage is done.

How do I actually buy these from outside the US?

You need a broker that accepts your country of residence and gives you access to US exchanges. To own the shares outright, that usually means an international stockbroker plus a W-8BEN form to claim your treaty rate on dividend withholding.
