An index tracks ASX-listed companies and is used as a reference point to measure the combined performance of their shares.

Once every three months on behalf of the ASX, S&P Dow Jones Indices checks to see that the companies listed on the index are still eligible by market capitalisation and if not, they switch the companies around to reflect that.
