Date 23/02/2011

The primary objective of the revisions, which entail an expansion of the index’s constituent base, is to improve the representativeness of the index, which will now include major actively traded companies with a consistent, but comparatively modest, dividend policy. By broadening the index, TASE also seeks to stabilize constituency changes and mitigate price fluctuations that occurred following index review and update dates.
