The Vanguard Index 500, the largest retail fund, has nearly $70 billion in assets. To make AOL 0.65 percent of the portfolio, it alone is going buy about $450 million or 3 million shares.

The S&P 500 is also influential beyond just the index fund buying, however, because so many retail and institutional managers benchmark their performance against that index. A common strategy, therefore is to treat the S&P 500 as their potential buy list and try to beat the index by owning what they believe to be the best stocks in each sector.
