Direct Answer
The EGX 70 EWI is a rule-based measurement of equal-weighted index of 70 active companies on the egyptian exchange outside the egx 30, maintained by Egyptian 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 EGX 70 EWI covers equal-weighted index of 70 active companies on the egyptian exchange outside the egx 30, within the Egypt market. Egyptian Exchange 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 70 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.
How constituents are weighted
Swoopr has not verified the weighting method for this index against Egyptian Exchange's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
