BET AeRO is the first index developed by BVB for the AeRO market and will include representative companies from this market. The index will have a variable number of constituents, while at the time of the launch it will include 20 companies that were selected based on quantitative criteria, related to liquidity and free-float market capitalization. The index will be extended in the future once new companies will meet the inclusion criteria. The weight of the companies in the index will consider the free-float level for each company, while the maximum weight of a company in the index will be 15%.
BET-TRN and BET-XT-TRN represent the net total return variants of BET-TR and BET-XT-TR indices being the first indices of this type launched by BVB. Thus, the two new indices will be adjusted considering the net dividend values offered by the companies included in the indices’ baskets.
The composition of the BET AeRO index was determined during the BVB Index Committee meeting that took place on September 28, 2021. The decisions of the Index Committee were the following:
The weights of the BET AeRO index constituents as well as the free-float factors (FFi), the representation factors (FRi) and the price correction factors (FCi), will be determined based on the number of shares and closing prices registered at the end of the trading session of October 1, 2021.
The new indices will be launched starting with the trading session of October 11, 2021. Similarly to the BET index group, the new indices will be adjusted on a quarterly basis during the indices’ periodic adjustments. The indices management rules as well as their dedicated sections will be available on BVB’s website on the date of launch.
