Direct Answer
The S&P Latin America BMI is a rule-based measurement of broad market index covering all eligible latin american equities, maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices. 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 S&P Latin America BMI covers broad market index covering all eligible latin american equities, within the Latin America market. S&P Dow Jones Indices 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.
