CNBC will launch a new index to focus on investors, young workers, and people younger than 50.  It’s called “The Investing Index”. CNBC Next Generation 50 index.

It will include 50 equal-weighted stock that is integral to careers and lives of Generation Z and millennials.

Our goal was to make a diverse list of stocks with different growth and size prospects. We also tried to stay away from companies that are already well-known.

CNBC compiles the index following weeks of research and input from younger producers and reporters working in both television and digital. The final review was done by Jim Cramer, CNBC’s stock specialist and former manager of a successful hedge fund.

CNBC’s Data and Research team dated the index back to 2021 after they had compiled the stocks basket. It has risen more than 40% since then.  But, the volatility and uncertainty in recent months have caused it to plummet 17%.

Jim Cramer’s note last week to CNBC Investment Club subscribers made the case that Apple is a good investment. Apple rose 7% in the face of volatility last week, and was higher than the rest last week. saying“Companies that have strong balance sheets and pay steady dividends and share repurchase programmes, as well as ones with healthy dividend payments and consistent earnings are more likely to be able to withstand volatile markets and support their shareholders.” 

Cramer then credited Apple’s recent 20 billion stock buyback, saying that the stock was seen by investors as a “safe haven”, which has led to its outperformance.

The index also includes entertainment stocks with a huge cap NetflixAlong with Roblox.
