BATS Exchange, the leading and innovative U.S. securities exchange, announces the first anniversary and annual reconstitution of the BATS 1000SM Index and the availability of index data in the Consolidated Tape System (CTS), the operating authority for exchangelisted securities information.
The BATS 1000 Index completed its first year on June 30th closing at 11,495.85, an increase of 14.96% since inception. BATS officially began tracking BATS 1000 Index data on July 1st, 2009 with a base value of 10,000.00.
The ten BATS 1000 Index sectors are adjusted to an equal weighting based on the current value of the index during the annual reconstitution process.
“The re-weighting of the index’s 10 sectors is a key part of the annual BATS 1000 reconstitution,” said Joe Ratterman, CEO of BATS Exchange and BATS Global Markets. “By balancing the sectors’ values, the index provides a more accurate picture of the overall mood of the US market, rather than being driven directionally by one or two sectors.”
“We are also pleased to publish the BATS 1000 Index in the consolidated tape, allowing distribution of BATS 1000 data to the public via the Internet and other electronic media throughout the world,” he said.
Complete BATS 1000 index methodology, criteria for inclusion and current index value are available at: http://www.batstrading.com/market_data/indices/bats_1000/. The current value of the index is computed regularly throughout the day based on trades that occur on the BATS Exchange and updated to reflect the consolidated close value at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET.
