Benchmark Index

The Benchmark Index was created with a base date of 29 December 1995 by S&P Dow Jones Indices and was constructed based on a reference value of 1000. The Benchmark Index is designed as a performance benchmark of 50 largest companies by float-adjusted market capitalisation listed on the Relevant Exchanges1 which have passed rules-based screens for Shariah compliance.
The universe for selection of the constituents of the Benchmark Index is the constituents of the Parent Index.
