Direct Answer
The TOPIX is a rule-based measurement of broad tokyo equity benchmark, maintained by JPX. 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 TOPIX covers broad tokyo equity benchmark, within the Japan market. JPX 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 JPX's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current TOPIX constituents
JPX publishes and licenses the TOPIX constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
