Direct Answer
The TA-Banks5 is a rule-based measurement of top 5 banking companies listed on the tel aviv stock exchange, maintained by Tel Aviv 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 TA-Banks5 covers top 5 banking companies listed on the tel aviv stock exchange, within the Israel market. Tel Aviv 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 5 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.
