S&P Brazil Sector GDP Weighted Index Launched by S&P Dow Jones Indices

Author: Alicia Miguel

  1. The Index is designed to measure the largest and most liquid stocks listed on the BM&F Bovespa weighted proportionately to the published Brazilian sector GDP figures
  2. "Brazil's equity market is highly concentrated in financial services and natural resource companies, thus traditional market capitalization weighted equity indices are not representative of the Brazilian economy"
