G2 Calculation and publication · 9 fields
Index types market-capitalization reference index, market-capitalization investable index, including equal-weighted, Smart Beta investable index
臺灣指數公司依指數類型分為「市值參考型指數」、「市值投資型(含等權重)指數」及「SmartBeta 投資型指數」等三種。Open p.3 ↗
TIP indices are classified into market-capitalization reference indices, market-capitalization investable indices including equal-weighted indices, and Smart Beta investable indices.
Price input Latest traded price or closing price.
𝑝𝑖,𝑡=成分股 𝑖於 𝑡日之價格 (最新成交價格或收盤價)Open p.4 ↗
The constituent price used in the formula is the latest traded price or the closing price.
Share count basis Issued shares
𝑠𝑖,𝑡=成分股 𝑖於 𝑡日之發行股數Open p.4 ↗
The formula uses each constituent's issued shares on the relevant day.
Coefficient products by index type Market capitalization reference index: weight adjustment coefficient; Market capitalization investable index: weight adjustment coefficient multiplied by free-float coefficient; Smart beta investable index: weight adjustment coefficient multiplied by original unrestricted investment-factor weight coefficient
市值參考型指數𝑐𝑖,𝑡指數成分股權重市值投資(含等權重)型指數𝑐𝑖,𝑡× 𝑓𝑖,𝑡發行市值權重SmartBeta 投資型指數𝑐𝑖,𝑡× 𝑏𝑖,𝑡Open p.5 ↗
Coefficient products differ by index type: weight coefficient for reference indices, weight and free-float coefficients for investable indices, and weight and Smart Beta factor coefficients for Smart Beta indices.
Formula type Divisor
𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑥𝑡= ∑ 𝑐𝑝𝑖,𝑡× 𝑠𝑖,𝑡× 𝑝𝑖,𝑡 i=1 × 基準指數𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑡Open p.4 ↗
The index is calculated as the sum of constituent coefficient products, shares and prices divided by an index divisor, multiplied by the base index.
Return variants PR, GTR
指數編製型態依「臺灣指數公司有價證券指數通則」分為價格指數及報酬指數。Open p.5 ↗
Index compilation forms are divided into price indices and return indices; the document distinguishes price indices from return indices but does not specify a net-return variant.
Dividend treatment For a cash dividend, the price index has zero changed market capitalization, while the return index recognizes the cash dividend and adjusts the divisor.
若為價格指數,異動指數成分股市值= 0。 ➢ 若為報酬指數,異動指數成分股市值= (−1) × 𝑡日係數乘積× 𝑡日發行股數×每股現金股利。Open p.26 ↗ (not found verbatim in the PDF)
On the ex-dividend date, the price index makes no market-capitalization change, whereas the return index records a negative cash-dividend market-capitalization change and adjusts the divisor.
Divisor adjustment rule Market-capitalization reference indices adjust the divisor while leaving coefficient products unchanged; investable and Smart Beta indices may adjust coefficient products or the divisor according to indexing-investment needs.
「市值參考型指數」係傳統的市場參考指標,主要反映指數成分股價格波動所造成的發行市值消長,為避免僅因企業活動改變指數市值而導致指數斷層的不連續現象,採調整指數除數但係數乘積不變的方式,以維持指數的連續性Open p.5 ↗
To maintain index continuity, market-capitalization reference indices adjust the divisor without changing coefficient products, while market-capitalization investable and Smart Beta indices assess practical indexing needs and adjust coefficient products or the divisor.
Divisor adjustment events cash acquisition merger, share-conversion merger, mixed cash and share-conversion merger, holding-company or newly formed company conversion, cash capital reduction, capital reduction to offset losses, spin-off or split-related restructuring when applicable, cash capital increase with paid share allocation, cash dividends in return indices, changed trading method deletion, delisting or other cessation that no longer qualifies for the index universe, other share-count changes for market-capitalization reference indices

Corporate-action information comes from the Taiwan Stock Exchange, Taipei Exchange, or listed-company announcements on the Market Observation Post System.
Face value change A face-value change increases or decreases shares by the ratio of old to new face value, keeps the coefficient product unchanged, creates zero changed market value, and does not adjust the divisor.
𝑡日發行股數= (𝑡−1)日發行股數×變更前股票面額/變更後股票面額。 ➢ 𝑡日係數乘積= (𝑡−1)日係數乘積。Open p.30 ↗ (not found verbatim in the PDF)

數家成分股公司轉為控股公司或合併後成立新設公司,新設公司符合指數母體Open p.12 ↗
Qualifying holding-company or new-company conversions replace converting constituents with the new entity and apply the relevant coefficient or divisor treatment.
Cash dividend On the ex-dividend date, shares and coefficient products remain unchanged; the price index records zero changed market capitalization, while the return index records the cash dividend as a negative changed market capitalization and adjusts the divisor.
𝑡日發行股數= (𝑡−1)日發行股數。市值參考型指數 ➢ 𝑡日係數乘積= (𝑡−1)日係數乘積。 ➢ 若為價格指數,異動指數成分股市值= 0。Open p.26 ↗ (not found verbatim in the PDF)

Bonus and split For a bonus issue, shares are increased by the bonus-issue ratio, the coefficient product remains unchanged, changed market capitalization is zero, and no divisor adjustment is made.
𝑡日發行股數= (𝑡−1)日發行股數× (1 + 無償配股率)。市值參考型指數➢ 𝑡日係數乘積= (𝑡−1)日係數乘積。Open p.26 ↗
A free bonus issue increases shares proportionally, keeps the coefficient product unchanged, creates zero changed market value, and does not adjust the divisor.
Rights issue For a paid cash capital increase, market-capitalization reference indices add the new shares at the subscription price and adjust the divisor; investable and Smart Beta indices adjust the coefficient product and do not adjust the divisor.
𝑡日發行股數= (𝑡−1)日發行股數+公告之現金增資股數。 ➢ 𝑡日係數乘積= (𝑡−1)日係數乘積。市值參考型指數➢ 異動指數成分股市值= 𝑡日係數乘積×現金增資認購價×公告之現金增資股數。Open p.27 ↗
Paid rights or cash capital increases are treated by divisor adjustment for reference indices and by coefficient adjustment with no divisor adjustment for investable and Smart Beta indices.
Other share changes Share changes not affecting original shareholders' holdings are implemented on the sixth trading day of each month; reference indices adjust the divisor, while investable and Smart Beta indices adjust the coefficient product and do not adjust the divisor.
每月第6 個交易日Open p.32 ↗
Conversions, employee option exercises, private placements, treasury-stock cancellations and similar share-count changes are processed monthly, with divisor or coefficient treatment depending on index type.
Capital reduction For cash capital reductions or loss-offset capital reductions, the constituent's market value is retained until trading resumes; shares are multiplied by the conversion ratio, the coefficient product is initially unchanged, and the divisor is adjusted, except a loss-offset reduction has zero changed constituent market value.
成分股公司現金減資或彌補虧損減資Open p.15 ↗
Capital reductions reduce shares by the conversion ratio and use resumption reference prices; reference treatment retains market value and adjusts the divisor, with a loss-offset reduction producing zero changed constituent market value.
Merger acquisition Treatment depends on whether the acquirer is a constituent and whether consideration is cash, newly issued shares, or mixed cash and shares; acquired constituents are deleted at termination, retained market value is used during suspension, and acquirer shares or coefficients are adjusted as specified.
合併公司全數以現金收購合併成分股公司或非成分股公司Open p.6 ↗
Mergers and acquisitions are handled according to the acquirer's constituent status and the form of consideration, with acquired constituents deleted, retained values carried through suspension, and shares, coefficients and divisors adjusted by the applicable branch.

A constituent spin-off may result in deletion, retention with a reduced share count, or inclusion of the spun-off company depending on index-universe and sampling-universe eligibility.
Suspension During merger or capital-reduction suspension, the constituent's t-1 index constituent market value is generally retained as reserved constituent market value and continues to be calculated; if the event date is also an ex-rights or ex-dividend date, the ex-rights/ex-dividend reference price is used.
以被合併公司於(𝑡−1)日之指數成分股市值做為「保留指數成分股市值」,保留於指數中繼續計算。如 𝑡日同時為除息交易日,則「保留指數成分股市值」採除息參考價計算。Open p.6 ↗ (not found verbatim in the PDF)
Suspended constituents involved in mergers or capital reductions generally remain in the calculation using reserved constituent market value until the event completion date.
Risk warning A constituent whose trading method is changed for financial reasons is deleted on the fifth trading day after the change if normal trading has not resumed; a supervisory trading-method change is deleted after one month if normal trading has not resumed, and the divisor is adjusted.
