  1. Commodity price index

    Merge from Commodity index fund date June 2010 A commodity price index is a fixed weight index or weighted average of selected commodity prices, which may be based on spot or futures prices. It is designed to be representative of the broad commodity asset class or a specific subset of commodities, such as energy or metals. The constituents in a commodity price index can be broadly grouped into the following categories Energy Metals Base Metals Precious Metals Agriculture Grains Softs Livestock Investors can choose to obtain a passive exposure to these commodity price indices through a total return swap . The advantages of a passive commodity index exposure include negative correlation with other asset classes such as equities and bonds, as well as protection against inflation . The disadvantages include a negative roll yield due to contango in certain commodities, although this can be reduced by active management techniques, such as reducing the weights of certain constituents e.g. precious and base metals in the index.

  1. Price-weighted index

    onesource article date June 2009 A price weighted index is a stock market index where each constituent makes up a fraction of the index that is proportional to its price. For a stock market index this implies that stock s are included in proportions based on their quoted prices. A stock trading at 100 will thus be making up 10 times more of the total index compared to a stock trading at 10. This is different from a Capitalization weighted index market weighted index where stocks are included based on the Stock equity market values of the underlying companies, i.e. the quoted stock price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding . The development of a price weighted index will not accurately reflect the evolution of the underlying market value s. This is so because the 100 stock above might be that of a small company and the 10 stock that of a large company. A change in the price quote of the small company will thus drive the price weighted index as it makes up a large part of the index while the combined market values will remain relatively unaffected without changes in the price quote of the large company. Moreover, constant rebalancing needs to take place. The quoted price for each stock used in the calculation of the index is redefined so that each index constituent has an appropriate weight in the index at each rebalancing date. An Adjustment factor is introduced to a stock, that is assigned to the stock at each rebalancing date, which allows for price weighting. For index component, the value would be ref Wikinvest How Stock Indices Work Price weighted adjustment factor formula via Wikinvest ref Adjustment Factor Index specific constant Z Number of shares of the stock Adjusted stock market value before rebalancing The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an example of a price weighted stock market index.

  1. IAS360 House Price Index

    Multiple issues unreferenced August 2008 orphan February 2009 Expert subject Economics date May 2009 The IAS360 House Price Index summarizes median house price trends, and the appreciation or depreciation in house prices, monthly in 360 counties, nine census divisions, and four regions, in the United States . The index analyzes house price trends by county, rather than by metropolitan statistical area or core based statistical area . It also narrows market boundaries by treating each county as its own market, rather than lumping counties together and thus blurring the trend lines. The index does not use the repeat sales method because the latter significantly limits the number of transactions available to analyze the trends in house prices, which may be exacerbated in slower market conditions. The IAS360 House Price Index uses Property proprietary patent pending technology that aggregates micro geographies . These micro geographies, known as iSegments, are characterized by 400 scaled and weighted social, economic, geographic and housing attributes.
