What is the difference between the two indices of "CSI A500" (hereinafter referred to as A500) and "CSI 500", which is only one "A"?

Let's take a look at the CSI 500 Index launched earlier, its full name is actually the CSI Small Cap 500 Index (5818.551, -98.62, -1.67%) (5818.5510, -98.62, -1.67%).

When selecting samples, the CSI 500 Index will exclude the constituent stocks of the CSI 300 Index (3933.5718, 5.83, 0.15%), the top 300 stocks in terms of average daily market capitalization in the past year, and the stocks with poor liquidity, and then select the top 500 stocks in terms of average daily market capitalization from the remaining stocks.

The newly launched A500 index this year has relatively complex compilation rules and is positioned to select the leading industry segments, which is quite different from the CSI 500 index.

The A500 adopts an industry-balanced sampling method, selecting 500 stocks with large market capitalization from various industries, and keeping the industry distribution of the index sample as consistent as possible with the CSI All-Share Index, so as to reflect the overall performance of the most representative stocks in each industry. In addition, the index is compiled with a combination of interconnection, ESG and other screening conditions, and more factors are considered in the selection of samples than in the CSI 500.

From the perspective of market capitalization coverage, the A500 index is more balanced and more representative. According to statistics, as of the end of October, almost all the constituent stocks of the CSI 500 Index were small and medium-sized companies with a market capitalization of less than 50 billion yuan, with an average market value of 25.7 billion yuan. There are 201 constituent stocks in the A500 Index with a market value of more than 50 billion yuan, and 299 constituent stocks with a market value of less than 50 billion yuan, with an average market value of nearly 90 billion yuan, much higher than that of the CSI 500 Index. The MACD golden cross signal is formed, and these stocks are rising well!
