Rules [edit]
The composition of the BEL20 index is reviewed annually based on closing prices at the end of the calendar year.[2] These changes are effected on the first trading day of every March. In addition to meeting a set of criteria demanding a company be "representative of the Belgian equity market", at least 15% of its shares must be considered free float in order to qualify for the index.[2] In addition, a candidate for inclusion must possess a free float market capitalisation (in Euros) of at least 300000 times the price of the index on the last trading day of December.[2] The minimum requirement for an existing constituent to remain in the index is a market cap of 200000 times the index value.[2] At each annual review, the weights of companies in the index are capped at 15%,[2] but range freely with share price subsequently. The BEL20 is a market value-weighted index.
