Index description (from
the official AMEX website)
The Index is equal-dollar weighted to ensure that each of its component securities is
represented in approximate equal-dollar value. Equal-dollar weighting was established by
designating the number of shares of each component stock that represented approximately
$10,000 in market value, based on closing prices on Oct. 15, 1993 (e.g., a stock that
closed at $20 per share would be represented in the Index by 500 shares for a total market
value of $10,000). The aggregate value of the stocks was reduced by a divisor to establish
an Index benchmark value of 300.00.
To ensure that each component stock continues to represent approximate equal market value in the Index, adjustments are made quarterly after the close of trading on the third Friday of January, April, July and October.
