During the first half of 2003, there will be 28 companies at the Most Traded-segment and 47 companies at the Attract40-segment, whereof 15 are new companies. Prior to the end of each half-year period the segments will be changed based on the statistics of the trade. In that way Attract40 and the Most Traded segments will reflect those companies that have been of interest to the investors during the last six months respectively the last year. For example, in the Attract40 segment, the weightings of the Industrials sector has increased while the IT-companies weightings have been reduced.
"The Most Traded and Attract40 are indicators for shares with high turnover. The criteria for Attract40 ensures that mid-cap companies are likely to be included in the segment", says Frank Teneberg, Head of Issuer Sales, Stockholmsbörsen.
