description This article discusses the meaning of enhanced indexing and the techniques used by managers, and provides an empirical assessment of 8 mutual funds that are classified in the S&P 500 enhanced index category.

Of the 3 funds, 2 have exhibited characteristics reasonably consistent with those of the S&P 500 index.
