FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series
FTSE and JSE Limited have joined forces to provide indices designed to measure the performance of the major capital and industry segments of the South African market. The series allows investors to track by market capitalisation or sector. A range of shareholder weighted and capped indices are also available.
- FTSE/JSE AltX Index
The FTSE/JSE AltX Index is a new index which has been created to provide a market measurement for those companies listed on the Alternative Market Exchange at the JSE Limited. The Alternative Exchange consists of all eligible companies with classes of ordinary shares on the Alternative Exchange.
- FTSE/JSE SA Resources Index
The FTSE/JSE SA Resources Index has been created to provide a market measurement of companies classified within the Oil & Gas Producers and Mining Sectors. The FTSE/JSE SA Resources Index consists of all ordinary securities listed on the JSE which qualify for inclusion in the FTSE/JSE All Share index and also belong to the Mining and Oil & Gas sectors.
- FTSE/JSE Dividend+ Index
FTSE Group and JSE Limited have launched the FTSE/JSE Dividend+ Index, a yield-weighted index designed to measure the performance of higher yielding stocks within the large and mid-cap universe of the FTSE/JSE All-Share Index, excluding real estate companies. The index was created to allow investors to capture the long-term effect of higher compounding returns and benefit from the lower correlations to traditional market cap weighted indices.
FTSE/JSE RAFI All-Share Index
The FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series is being enhanced with the addition of the FTSE/JSE RAFI All-Share Index to support growing demand for fundamental indices in the South African market. Launched in association with Research Affiliates, the FTSE/JSE RAFI All-Share Index is designed to reflect the performance of the FTSE/JSE All-Share Index by fundamental values. The FTSE/JSE RAFI All-Share Index weights constituents using four fundamental factors, rather than market capitalisation; dividends, cash flow, sales and book value.
FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 Index
The FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 Index is the first non market cap-weighted FTSE index for the South African market. Launched in association with Research Affiliates, the FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 Index is designed to reflect the performance of the top 40 companies from the FTSE/JSE All-Share Index by fundamental values. The FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 Index weights constituents using four fundamental factors, rather than market capitalisation; dividends, cash flow, sales and book value.
