| Summary Methodology |
| Analytical framework, concepts, definitions, and classifications (including reference to applicable guidelines) |
| The BOVESPA Index is the most important indicator of average performance of prices on the Brazilian stock market, as BOVESPA is responsible for approximately 85 percent of the total traded on all Brazilian stock exchanges. Its basic purpose is to serve as an average market performance indicator. Therefore, its composition seeks to approximate as closely as possible the actual pattern of sight trades on the BOVESPA. In short, the BOVESPA Index is the current value, in current currency , of a theoretical stock portfolio based on an a hypothetical investment. |
| Scope of the data (coverage of, e.g., institutional units, transactions and stock, commodities, industries, and geographic areas) |
| The Index's theoretical portfolio is made up of stocks which, taken as a whole, represent 80 percent of the volume traded at sight in the 12 months prior to creation of the portfolio. An additional criterion requires that a stock be traded on at least 80 percent of all floors during the period. |
| Accounting conventions (e.g. time of recording, valuation methods) |
| No accounting conventions have been adopted for IBOVESPA. |
| Nature of the basic data (e.g., administrative records, surveys censuses, combinations of these) |
| For the index to remain representative over the long term, the market is reassessed every four months, based on the preceding 12 months in each instance, and changes in the relative share of each stock are identified. Then, a new portfolio is put together, giving each stock a new weight based on the distribution of the market, as determined in the reassessment.Firms issuing stocks that are in the theoretical portfolio of the BOVESPA Index account, on average, for approximately 70 percent of the total stock market capitalization of all firms with shares traded on the BOVESPA. |
| Compilation practices (e.g., weighting schemes, imputation methods, balancing/cross-checking techniques) |
| The
BOVESPA Index is nothing more than the sum of the weights (theoretical quantity of the
stock multiplied by its last price) of the stocks making up the theoretical portfolio. It
can therefore be calculated at any time using the following formula:
|
| Other aspects (e.g., seasonal adjustment, disclosure avoidance, base years, reference years, transformations from fiscal to calendar years) |
| Using
the above formula, BOVESPA calculates the tradability index for each of the stocks in the
index traded in the last 12 months.These indices are listed in decreasing order until
the total of the individual shares reaches 80 percent. The stocks thus selected make up
the index portfolio, provided that they meet the other two criteria. If they do not, they
are replaced by stocks below them in the decreasing list that do meet the criteria. Once
the minimum of 80 percent of the sum of the tradability indices is reached, the list of
stocks that will make up the BOVESPA Index for the next four months is determined, and the
stocks selected will only be removed from the portfolio when they fail to meet at least
two of the criteria.
