Direct Answer
The OMX Nordic 40 is a rule-based measurement of large nordic listed companies, maintained by Nasdaq. 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 OMX Nordic 40 covers large nordic listed companies, within the Nordics market. Nasdaq 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 40 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 Nasdaq's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current OMX Nordic 40 constituents
