# Bahrain Islamic Index: What It Measures and How It Is Built

## Direct Answer

> The Bahrain Islamic Index is a rule-based measurement of Shariah-compliant companies listed on the Bahrain Bourse, maintained by Bahrain Bourse. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of companies, revised on a schedule the provider sets.

## What this index covers

The Bahrain Islamic Index covers Shariah-compliant companies listed on the Bahrain Bourse, within the Bahrain market. Bahrain Bourse defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.

The index name does not state a fixed company count, so the number of constituents follows the eligibility rules rather than a target.

## How constituents are weighted

Swoopr has not verified the weighting method for this index against Bahrain Bourse's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.

## Current Bahrain Islamic Index constituents

Bahrain Bourse publishes and licenses the Bahrain Islamic Index constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
