Direct Answer
The FTSE/JSE Mid Cap is a rule-based measurement of mid-cap companies listed on the johannesburg stock exchange, maintained by FTSE Russell/JSE. 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/JSE Mid Cap covers mid-cap companies listed on the johannesburg stock exchange, within the South Africa market. FTSE Russell/JSE 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/JSE's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current FTSE/JSE Mid Cap constituents
