The number of constituent stocks is adjusted periodically based on market conditions and index rules, generally ranging between 50 and 100. The exact number depends on the regular reviews conducted by FTSE Russell, ensuring that the constituent stocks represent the largest and most liquid companies in the market.
The methodology for compiling the FTSE Taiwan Index considers several factors, including market capitalization, liquidity, and trading frequency. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Stock Selection Criteria
Market Capitalization: Select the largest companies to ensure the inclusion of major players in the market.
Liquidity: Ensure that the selected companies have sufficient trading volume and liquidity, making it easier for investors to trade.
2. Weighting Allocation
Market Capitalization Weighting: Allocate weight according to the company’s market capitalization, with larger companies having a higher weight in the index.
