FTSE Russell would like to inform clients that the FTSE JSE Africa Index Series Ground Rules have been updated as
shown below effective immediately.
New Rule
Section 4: Index construction
Rule 4.3.7 - New and newly eligible inward foreign listings (update in bold)
To be considered for index inclusion, new inward listings with a global free float greater than 5% and a
SWIX investable market capitalisation less than 0.5% of the small cap index on the review cut-off date will
have their SWIX free float adjusted such that the SWIX investable market capitalisation is equal to 0.5% of
the small cap index. This adjustment will only be done during the first year of index inclusion, where
necessary, and thereafter, the SWIX free float will be updated based on the actual Strate register
number.
