Direct Answer
The NSE 25 Share Index is a rule-based measurement of top 25 companies listed on the nairobi securities exchange by market activity, maintained by Nairobi Securities 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 NSE 25 Share Index covers top 25 companies listed on the nairobi securities exchange by market activity, within the Kenya market. Nairobi Securities 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 25 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.
