Direct Answer
The ChiNext Index is a rule-based measurement of growth/innovation companies on chinext, maintained by Shenzhen Stock Exchange. 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 ChiNext Index covers growth/innovation companies on chinext, within the China market. Shenzhen Stock Exchange 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 Shenzhen Stock Exchange's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current ChiNext Index constituents
Shenzhen Stock Exchange publishes and licenses the ChiNext Index constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
