The PSEi, a basket of thirty (30) publicly-traded shares in the local bourse, generally represents the overall economic well-being of the Philippine economy and is usually used as the benchmark index for funds heavily invested in domestic equities.

Twice every year (March and September), the PSEi is assessed whether the stocks in the index adhere to the policies governing PSEi inclusion.

These policies include:

  1. Free float level of at least 10%
  2. Liquidity or average daily trading value of at least P5 million
  3. Volume turnover ratio of at least 10%
  4. Tradability of at least 95% of the total trading days
  5. Free float market capitalization

Companies included in the PSEi that do not adhere to the above rules are removed and replaced with new ones.
