KSE-100 INDEX
1. OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of the KSE100 index is to have a benchmark by which the stock price
performance can be compared to over a period of time. In particular, the KSE 100 is designed to
provide investors with a sense of how the Pakistan equity market is performing. Thus, the KSE100
is similar to other indicators that track various sectors of the Pakistan economic activity such as
the gross national product, consumer price index, etc.
The KSE-100 Index was intorduced in November 1999 with base value of 1,000 points. The Index
comprises of 100 companies selected on the basis of sector representation and highest market
capitalisation, which captures over 80% of the total market capitalisation of the companies listed
on the Exchange. Out of the following 35 Sectors, 34 companies are selected i.e. one company
from each sector (excluding Open-End Mutual Fund Sector) on the basis of the largest market
capitalisation and the remaining 66 companies are selected on the basis of largest market
capitalisation in descending order. This is a total return index i.e. dividend, bonus and rights are
adjusted.
LIST OF SECTORS

3. STOCK SELECTION RULES
The selection criteria for stock inclusion in the recomposed KSE100 Index are:
Rule # 1 Largest market capitalisation in each of the 34 Karachi Stock Exchange sectors
exculding Open-end Mutual Fund Sector;
Rule # 2 The remaining index places (in this case 66) are taken up by the largest market
capitalisation companies in descending order.
Rule # 3 Company which is on the Defaulters’ Counter and/or its trading is suspended, declare
Non-Tradable (i.e. NT) in preceeding 6 months from the date of recomposition shall
A number of the 34 top sector companies may also qualify for inclusion on the basis of their market
capitalisation. In other words, companies may qualify solely under rule 1, solely under rule 2, or
under both.
The fact that the sector rule is identified as Rule 1 does not imply that it is more important, only that
the nature of the selection process is such that it is the screening that is done first.

4. CALCULATION METHODOLOGY *
In the simplest form, the KSE100 index is a basket of price and the number of shares outstanding.
The value of the basket is regularly compared to a starting point or a base period. In our case, the
base period is 1st November, 1991. To make the computation simple, the total market value of the
base period has been adjusted to 1000 points. Thus, the total market value of the base period has
been assigned a value of 1000 points.
An example of how the KSE100 Index is calculated can be demonstrated by using a three-stock
sample. Table 1 illustrates the process. First, a starting point is selected and the initial value of the
three-stock index set equal to 1000.
Taking stock A’s share price of Rs. 20 and multiplying it by its total common shares outstanding of
50 million in the base period provides a market value of one billion Rupees. This calculation is
repeated for stocks B and C with the resulting market values of three and six billion Rupees,
respectively.
The three market values are added up, or aggregated, and set equal to 1000 to form the base
period value. All future market values will be compared to base period market value in indexed
form.

The KSE100 Index calculation at any time involves the same multiplication of share price and
shares outstanding for each of the KSE100 Index component stocks. The aggregate market value
is divided by the base value and multiplied by 1000 to arrive at the current index number.

5. RECOMPOSITION OF THE KSE-100 INDEX
Maintenance of the index over time will require an on-going semi-annual recomposition process,
internal and external- buffer files of shares that exceed (shares outside the index) or fall below
(shares inside the index) the above criteria will be maintained under the jurisdiction of the Board of
Directors/Management of the Exchange.
Maintaining adequate representation of the under-lying stock market through all of its future
development and changes is dependent upon the establishment of an appropriate recomposition
process. Recomposition rules fall into two general categories: Sector Rules and Market
Capitalisation Rules.
Sector rules govern the selection (or deletion) of companies on the basis of being the top
capitalisation stock in each of the 34 KSE sectors (excluding Open-end Mutual Fund sector). Two
rules are recommended to undertake selection in this area-one, a time based rule and the other is
a value-based rule. Application can be triggered by compliance with either rule.

periods.

Capitalisation rules govern the selection (or deletion) of companies on the basis of being among
the largest capitalisation companies in the stock market. Only one rule applies here-time based
rule.
in the index selected on the basis of market cap for two recomposition periods. A qualifying company
automatically pushes out the lowest cap selected stock in the index.
A newly listed company or a privatized company shall qualify to be included in the existing index
(after one recomposition period) if the market capitalisation of the new or privatized company is at
least 2% of the total market capitalization.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE RECOMPOSTION OF THE KSE100
The base divisor adjustment process can easily be understood by an example mentioned below. It
is important to understand that all divisor adjustment are made after the close of trading.
DIVISOR CHANGES
As mentioned earlier the Revised Market Capitalization are the market capitalization of those
companies which would constitute the KSE-100 Index on the next day (Day 3). The Revised
Market Capitalization calculated after the end of closing of trading session of Day 2 by using closing
prices of the same day.
The key to making this adjustment, as with any divisor adjustment, is that the index value is
temporarily ‘frozen’ at the close of trading, while the divisor is adjusted for the increase or decrease
in market value of the numerator in the formula.
Market Capitalization
Index = —————————————— x 1000
Divisor
Therefore, in order to get the new divisor than formula is reframed as:
12,000,000,000
= ——————————— x 1000
1100
= 10,909,090,909
Note:
The formula for Re-composition of the KSE100 Index is same as mentioned in Table 2, except that the treatment of
Base Divisor changes from Base Period Value to an arbitrary number, set such that there is no break in the index
series. This will be adjusted for any capital changes in indexed stocks.

6. REPLACEMENT OF STOCK IN THE INDEX
In Table 2 the ABC index is calculated for day 2. However, it is assumed that stock D will replace
stock B effective at the opening of trading on day 3. Therefore, the divisor adjustment is made, as
shown, after the close of trading on day 2., stock D’s price, shares outstanding, and resulting
market value are also as of the close of trading on day2.
By adding stock D, a stock twice the market value of B, the new base divisor increases substantially
as the aggregate market value increases proportionately, while the index remains unchanged.
Thus, the impact on the price index of stock D, isn’t felt until 3rd day’s trading begins.
Step 1. Replace stock B with stock D after the close of trading on Day 2. TABLE

7. DIVIDEND, BONUS AND RIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
If company A has declared 10% cash dividend and its Book Closure Date starts from day 4 then
Step 1
Determine the ex-dividend price of the stock A to calculate the revised market capitalisation and a
Stock A
Cash Dividend : 10 %
i) Cash dividend amount per share = Par Value x dividend% = Rs 10 x 10% = Re.1
= 22.50 - 1
= 21.50

7.2 Bonus Adjustment
If company A has declared 10% Bonus shares its Book Closure Date starts from day 4 then it will
be adjusted after the close of Day 3.
Step 1
Determine the Ex-Bonus price of the stock A to calculate the revised market capitalisation and a
new divisor for the next day i.e. Day 4.
Stock A
Market value on Day 3: Rs 22.50
Bonus : 10 %
For simplicity in working , we will calculate the Ex-bonus price on the basis of a lot of 100 shares.

Step 2
Calculation the total number of outstanding shares after the Bonus issue.
Step 3
Share price and the total number of outstanding shares of A is adjusted after the close of Day 3 to
calculate the New Divisor for the next day (i.e. Day 4).

7.3 DIVIDEND & BONUS ADJUSTMENT (Simultaneously)
If company A has declared 10% Cash dividend and 10 % Bonus shares and its Book Closure Date
starts from day 4 then it will be adjusted after the close of Day 3.
Step 1
1. The Ex-Dividend price of stock A shall be calculate in the same pattern as mentioned in the
Step 1 of section 7.1 i.e. Rs. 21.50
For simplicity in working , we will calculate the Ex-bonus price on the basis of a lot of 100
shares.
Step 2
Calculate the total number of outstanding shares after the Bonus issue.
Total number of shares + Total number of shares x Bonus%
= 50,000,000 + (50,000,000 x 10% Bonus)
= 55,000,000 shares
15
Step 3
Share price and the total number of shares of A is adjusted after the close of Day 3 to calculate the
New Divisor for the next day (i.e. Day 4)

7.4 RIGHT ISSUE ADJUSTMENT
The Right issues of the companies which constituents the KSE 100 Index are adjusted in two
stages. At first stage the Ex-Right price is adjusted and at the second stage the capital (out standing
shares) are adjusted. A brief detail about the right issues are mentioned below:
The company which declares Right shares have to close its books (share holders register) to
determine entitlement with in 45 days of its declaration.
At the date of book closure, the Ex–Right price is ascertained and if the company belongs to the
KSE 100 Index then the Divisor is adjusted due to the Ex-Right price of the company.
When the company informs the Exchange that it has dispatched Letter of Rights Offer to the
shareholders , the trading in the Letter of Rights Offer Un- paid are commenced . A separate block
of capital, Un-Paid-Right, is formed equal to amount of right issue and the trading continues till
next 45 days or till the last date of payment.
After the last date of payment the trading in Un-Paid-Right(Letter of Rights Offer) is discontinued
and trading in Right Allotment Letter (RAL) is commenced which continues till the next 90 days .
By the end of 90 days or earlier when the company informs that shares certificates are ready for
exchange with RAL , the trading in RAL is discontinued and the capital of the RAL is merged with
the company. At this stage the Divisor of the KSE 100 Index is adjusted for the increase in the
number of shares of the company.

The above mentioned text is simplified for the benefit of readers for details refer the Companies Ordinance 1984,
Company ( Issue of Capital) Rules 1996 and the Listing regulations of the Exchange.
If Company A has issued 10 % right shares and its Book Closure Date starts from day 4 then it will
