New free float methodology to come into force

A new version of the Free Float Methodology comes into force on 29 August. It provides for limitation of the free-float coefficient for stocks added to an index for the first time in order to avoid disbalance between the stock"s weight in the index and its liquidity. 

Moscow Exchange"s index constituent lists, which take effect on 16 September, will be formed in accordance with the new methodology.

The new methodology is available here.
