An Index, like the Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi), is a tool used to measure the performance of a group of stocks, representing the overall market. The PSEi, being the main index in the Philippines, includes 30 selected companies that reflect the condition of the Philippine stock market. It's a barometer for investors to gauge market trends. The PSEi is managed by the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), which ensures a fair and orderly trading environment. The PSE sets criteria for selecting stocks for the PSEi, focusing on factors like company listing duration, free float, and liquidity. These criteria ensure that the index accurately represents the market's performance. For investors, the PSEi serves as a benchmark for evaluating their equity portfolio's performance. By comparing their portfolio's return on investment (ROI) with the PSEi's movement, investors can make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Additionally, products like the SB Philippine Equity Index Fund allow investors to invest in a portfolio that mimics the PSEi.
