Direct Answer
The Main Market 50 Index is a rule-based measurement of top 50 companies listed on the main market of boursa kuwait, maintained by Boursa Kuwait. 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 Main Market 50 Index covers top 50 companies listed on the main market of boursa kuwait, within the Kuwait market. Boursa Kuwait defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The name states a target of 50 companies. A target is not a guarantee of the exact count on any given day: corporate actions, dual share classes and pending additions all move the real number around it.
