Direct Answer
The FTSE/JSE Shareholder Weighted All Share Index is a rule-based measurement of JSE-listed equities weighted by shares available to ordinary shareholders rather than full free-float, maintained by FTSE Russell and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of securities, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The FTSE/JSE Shareholder Weighted All Share Index covers JSE-listed equities weighted by shares available to ordinary shareholders rather than full free-float. FTSE Russell and the Johannesburg 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 methodology document, published by FTSE Russell and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, sets the rules for inclusion and removal. Corporate actions, index reviews, and eligibility changes all move the constituent list on the timetable the provider specifies.
