Folks,

Does anyone have a link to the entire list of stocks included in the Wilshire 5000 Total Market index. I have been poking around on the web and can not find it. Please post a pointer to the list if you can help out.

Thanks,

Wilshire 5000

If you're looking for an index that captures the state of the entire market, you need look no further than the Wilshire 5000. Founded in 1974 by Wilshire Associates, the Wilshire originally listed 5,000 stocks, although in subsequent decades it grew to include considerably more. The Wilshire now tracks over 7,000 stocks (although the name kept the 5,000 number in it for consistency). The index tracks every stock for every company that is headquartered in the United States, leading some to call it the Total Stock Market Index. Like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, the Wilshire 5000 index is a market capitalization-weighted index.

get all stocks listed in US and you get them, sound like lots of junk in this index.
 
Thanks for the feedback.

I am still looking for a complete list of stocks included in the Wilshire 5000 index. I hope to get a list in spreadsheet format that includes symbols if possible.

Thanks,

- Greg

I did some research as well and couldn't find a list of all stocks either. Only info I found is that it apparently contains more than 5,000 stocks (approx 7,000).

I suggest you just write an email to someone at Wilshire and request the list directly from them. Feel free to post it here when you have it. :cool:

the exact info is for institution client only.

I emailed Wilshire and they responded stating that the list of companies is paying institutional clients only. It seems very odd that the list of stocks included in an index followed by many mutual funds and ETFs is not publicly available. I would expect that as soon as there are a large number of products marketed at standard retail investors tied to the Wilshire 5000 index then the companies included in the index would have to be disclosed from an SEC regulatory perspective at least once per quarter.

For all the other (non-Wilshire) indexes the list of included stocks can easily be found on multiple websites.
