johntan1979 Then what's the purpose of the divisor, D?
geofin to account for stocks splits, exclusions, inclusions, etc.
RicardoHM +johntan1979: it is to establish it to a market index (e.g. 1000)
xemex131 market-cap weighted indices are also not rebalanced because the weights are determined by price*free float shares
mcbreatz I agree with market cap statement but reading gave reasons such as company mergers or removal of a stock that falls below a certain threshold. I don't really see how this is any different than a price-weighted to be honest.
