General Index Rules
Companies are weighted based on their market capitalization as of the last trading date in December. No constituent may weight more than 5% of the index on the annual reconstitution date or quarterly rebalance date. The index is reconstituted annually on the last trading date in January. The weight of each company will float between reconstitution and rebalance dates thus it is possible for a company to weigh more than 5% between these periods. The index is rebalanced quarterly on the last trading date in April, July and October. The rebalanced weights for April, July and October will be based on the constituents’ market capitalization as of the last trading date in March, June, and September, respectively.
