FTSE SET Index Series

FTSE Russell and the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) have jointly created the FTSE SET Index Series, providing market participants with a suite of tools that can be used for performance measurement, product creation and analysis. All companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand Main Board are eligible for inclusion in the indices, subject to passing FTSE Russell’s international methodology standards, and are classified according to the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), the global standard for industry sector analysis.

The index series covers all segments of the capital market, divided into Large, Mid, Small and Fledgling according to market capitalisation. There is also a range of sector indices - the FTSE SET All-Share Industry Indices - that is segmented according to ICB and provides 11 Industry, 20 Supersector and 45 Sector indices. These provide market participants with a set of tools that can be used for deeper analysis of the Thailand market and the creation of sector-specific funds and index-linked products.

The indices can be used as benchmarks and as tools for the creation of financial products, such as institutional and retail funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), derivatives contracts and other financial products.

• FTSE SET Large Cap Index - comprising the 30 largest eligible companies by full market capitalisation.
