Direct Answer
The SSE 180 is a rule-based measurement of chinese large-cap equity benchmark, maintained by Shanghai/Shenzhen 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 SSE 180 covers chinese large-cap equity benchmark, within the China market. Shanghai/Shenzhen 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 name states a target of 180 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.
