Shareholder Weighted (SWIX)

The SWIX All Share Index represents 99% of the full market cap value of all eligible securities listed on the Main Board of the JSE however, all constituents are weighted by an alternate free float, called the SWIX free float.  The SWIX free float represents the proportion of a constituent’s share capital that is held in dematerialised form and registered on the South African share register, maintained by Strate.  The SWIX free float is the minimum of the percentage shares held on Strate and the company free float.
