The CRSP Stock File Indexes are broad market index and decile portfolios calculated on daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual bases.
The CRSP Cap-Based Portfolios examine the relationship between the size of market capitalization and returns. Reports with information on breakpoints, performance, and rebalancing are generated from the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio Module.
