# PSEi: What It Measures and How It Is Built







## Direct Answer



> The PSEi is a rule-based measurement of philippine blue-chip benchmark, maintained by Philippine Stock 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 PSEi covers philippine blue-chip benchmark, within the Philippines market. Philippine 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 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 Philippine Stock Exchange's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.








## Current PSEi constituents



Philippine Stock Exchange publishes and licenses the PSEi constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
