Direct Answer
The Dow Jones Global Titans 50 is a rule-based measurement of 50 largest multinational companies worldwide measured by float-adjusted market capitalisation, maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices. 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 Dow Jones Global Titans 50 covers 50 largest multinational companies worldwide measured by float-adjusted market capitalisation, within the Global market. S&P Dow Jones Indices 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.
