Direct Answer
The FTSE Global Small Cap Index is a rule-based measurement of small-cap companies across developed and emerging market countries worldwide, maintained by FTSE Russell. 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 FTSE Global Small Cap Index covers small-cap companies across developed and emerging market countries worldwide, within the Global market. FTSE Russell 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 FTSE Russell's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current FTSE Global Small Cap Index constituents
FTSE Russell publishes and licenses the FTSE Global Small Cap Index constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
