The S&P/ASX 200 (XJO) index is a market-capitalisation weighted and float-adjusted stock market index of stocks listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The index is maintained by Standard & Poor's and is considered the benchmark for Australian equity performance. It is based on the 200 largest ASX listed stocks, which together account for about 82% (as of March 2017) of Australia's share market capitalisation. [2]

Contents

The ASX 200 was started on 31 March 2000 with a value of 3133.3, [3] equal to the value of the All Ordinaries at that date. The ASX 200 reached 6,000 points for the first time on Thursday 15 February 2007. [4] On 22 December 2017, the ASX 200 was 6,069. [5] The ASX 200 crossed the 7,000 points level for the first time on 16 January 2020. [6]

Bloomberg, CNBC, Yahoo! Finance and Wikinvest use respectively the symbols AS51 [7] .AXJO [8] ^AXJO [9] and AXJO [10] to refer to this index.

The ASX 200 webpage offers a Share market game as an educational tool with $50,000.00 AUD virtual cash. [11]

Calculations

The ASX 200 is capitalisation-weighted, meaning a company's contribution to the index is relative to its total market value i.e., share price multiplied by the number of tradeable shares. The ASX 200 is also float adjusted, meaning the absolute numerical contribution to the index is relative to the stock's value at the float of the stock. [12]

Although the calculation starts with a sum of the market capitalisation of the constituent stocks, it is intended to reflect changes in share price, not market capitalisation. Therefore, a fudge factor called the "Divisor" is used to ensure that the index value only changes when stock prices change, not whenever market capitalisation changes. For example, if a company increases its market capitalisation by issuing and selling new shares to raise capital, the Divisor is adjusted so that the ASX 200 index value does not change.

Contract specifications

The ASX 200 (ticker symbol AP) is traded on the ASX 24 exchange (SFE) with a contract size of 25 x S&P/ASX Index Points.
