PHLX website)
The KBW Bank Sector (BKX) is a capitalization-weighted index composed of 24 geographically
diverse stocks representing national money center banks and leading regional institutions.
BKX is based on one-tenth the value of the value of the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Index
(KBWI). Founded in 1962, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods is long recognized as the
"banking industry experts," following more than 200 commercial banking and
thrift industries on a daily basis.
The index was initiated at the time of the firm's founding
and was calculated retroactively to 1947. The index is evaluated at least annually by
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to review whether the composition is highly representative of
the banking industry. BKX was set to an initial value of 250 on October 21, 1991; options
commenced trading September 21, 1992.
