KSE 30 Index

The Karachi Stock Exchange has launched the KSE-30 Index with base value of 10,000 points, formally implemented from Friday, September 1, 2006.[1] The main feature of this index that makes it different from other indices are:

  • KSE-30 index is based only on the free-float of shares, rather than on the basis of paid-up capital.[2]
  • The other indices in Karachi Stock Exchange represents total return of the market. That is, when a company announces a dividend, the other indices at KSE are not reduced/adjusted for that amount of dividend (whether cash or bonus).Whereas, KSE-30 Index is adjusted for dividends and right shares.

At the end of 24 December 2014, KSE-30 Index reached its highest ever level of 20,830.07.
