Definitions
- This invention relates to index rebalancing techniques.
- Stock indexes are used to track the performance of a group of stocks. There are several types of stock indexes including capitalization weighted stock indexes, price weighted stock indexes and so forth. In a capitalization weighted stock index often one or more stocks in the stock index will have a substantially higher capitalization weight than remaining stocks in the index. Significant concentration in the capitalization weight of a few high capitalized stocks may dominate the overall performance of the index.
- a computer program product stored on a computer readable medium for rebalancing a capitalization weighted stock index includes instructions for causing a computer to classify stocks in the index as a Large Individual Stock if a stock has a capitalization weight above or equal to a first threshold or as a Small Individual Stock if the stock has a capitalization weight below the first threshold.
- the computer program causes the computer to scaled down the Large Individual Stocks by an excess capitalization weight of the large stocks, and distributes an aggregated excess capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the capitalization weights of the Small Individual Stocks.
- the computer program product also includes instructions that cause the computer to iteratively distribute the excess aggregate capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the Small Individual Stocks.
- the computer program product - 2 - stored on a computer readable medium for rebalancing a capitalization weighted stock index includes instructions for causing a computer to request a file containing data corresponding to capitalization of stocks in the index, classify stocks in the index as a Large Individual Stock if a stock has a capitalization weight above or equal to a first threshold or as a Small Individual Stock if the stock has a capitalization weight below the first threshold.
- the program causes the computer to scale Large Individual Stocks in the index in proportion to an excess capitalization weight associated with a stock in the index having the highest capitalization weight if the weight of the stock is greater than a second threshold.
- the program classifies the Large Individual Stocks as Large Combined Stocks if the capitalization weight of said Large Individual Stocks exceeds a third threshold.
- the program causes the computer to rescale the weights of the Large Individual Stocks in accordance with excess capitalization weights of the Large Individual Stocks, determine excess aggregate capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks, and distribute the excess capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the Small Individual Stocks.
- a method executed on a computer for rebalancing a capitalization weighted stock index includes classifying stocks in the index as a Large Individual Stock if a stock has a capitalization weight above or equal to a first threshold or as a Small Individual Stock if the stock has a capitalization weight below the first threshold, classifying the Large Individual Stocks as Large Combined Stocks if the capitalization weight of said Large Individual Stocks exceeds a second threshold, scaling capitalization weights of Large Individual Stocks by an excess aggregate capitalization weight of the Large Combined Stocks, and distributing an aggregated excess capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the capitalization weights of the Small Individual Stocks.
- Distributing includes determining excess aggregate capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks, iteratively distributing the excess aggregate capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the Small Individual Stocks and further including setting the capitalization of a largest one of the Small Individual Stocks to the first threshold, and scaling up remaining Small Individual Stocks in accordance with a capitalization amount required to set the largest one to the first threshold.
- the index rebalancing software retains a capitalization weighting characteristic to an index while permitting the index to conform to generally accepted accounting, economic and tax standards. Index rebalancing is accomplished in a manner that maintains the original relative position of stocks in the index while reducing the market impact of rebalancing on the Small Individual Stock group.
- the iterative redistribution of excess capitalization over all Small Individual Stocks provides for less than proportional distribution of excess capitalization to very small capitalized stocks. This approach is applicable to any index where the number of stocks in the index are fixed and which relies upon a market capitalization basis to determine the position of stocks in the index.

- a computer system 10 includes a processor 12 including a central processor unit 13 and a main memory 14 interconnected by a computer system bus 15.
- the computer system 10 has a network interface 20 coupled via a network 19 to another computer system 18.
- the computer system 10 further includes a storage adapter 26 coupled to the computer system bus 15 and coupled to a disk drive 28 via a storage bus 27.
- Computer system 18 illustratively provides computer system 10 with current information regarding prices, number of outstanding shares, etc. of stocks contained in a stock index. This information can be communicated over the network 19 to the interface 20.
- the information can be stored as a file or data structure 30 on the mass storage device 28.
- the mass storage device 28 also includes index rebalancing software 40.
- Index rebalancing software uses the information in file 30 to produce rebalanced index weights for each stock component of a stock index and determines an adjustment factor to ensure a continuity of a value of the index after rebalancing.
- the above-described architecture is that of a general purpose, networked computer system. It should be understood that any type of computer system such as a server or non-network personal computer system provided with the information regarding current characteristics of stocks in the index could be used to operate the stock index rebalancing software 40.
- the stock index rebalancing software 40 classifies stocks in a stock index according to whether the stock is a Small Individual Stock or a Large Individual Stock.
- the stock index rebalancing software 40 uses stock information in data structure or file 30 to determine a current percent weight for each stock.
- the index rebalancing software will be described with regard to "The NASDAQ 100 Index®”, (The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc).
- Other indices, particularly indices which are so-called "capitalization weighted - 5 - indices” could alternatively be used.
- the classifier 42 compares the Current Percent Weights for each stock against an Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point threshold for the index.
- the Current Percent Weights for each of the stocks in the index are calculated by multiplying the number of current index shares for each stock with the current stock price for the stock to provide a total market capitalization.
- the Current Percent Weight (CPW,) for an i th stock is determined by dividing the total market capitalization for that i th stock by the sum of the total market capitalizations of all stocks in the index, as given by Equation 1 below.
- the Equal Dollar Weighting Anchor Point is a percentage threshold determined by dividing into 100% the number of stocks in the index. Thus, for the NASDAQ 100 Index® the Equal Dollar Weighting Anchor Point (EWAP) equals 1.00%.
- the index rebalancing software 40 compares a Current Percent Weight (CPW) for each stock to the Equal Dollar Weighting Anchor Point.
- CPW Current Percent Weight
- the index rebalancing software 40 classifies stocks in this index as belonging to one of three groups, "Large Individual Stocks" "Large Combined
- the index rebalancing software 40 reduces the impact of rebalancing on the Small Individual Stock group. That is, the index rebalancing software 40 provides for less than proportional distribution of excess capitalization to smaller capitalized stocks. This approach is applicable to any index where the number of stocks in the index are fixed and which relies upon a market capitalization basis to determine the percent weight of stocks in the index.
- the index rebalancing software 40 determines if rebalancing of the index - 6 - is necessary according to two different conditions.
- the index rebalancing software 40 rebalances if there is a stock in the index having a CPW that exceeds a first threshold (e.g. 24%) and/or if the sum of the market capitalization weights of a subset of the Large Individual Stocks exceeds a second threshold (e.g. 48%).
- the index rebalancing software 40 rebalances the index so as to distribute excess capitalization weight from Large Individual Stocks to Small Individual Stocks in a manner that reduces the impact on the relatively Smaller Individual Stocks.
- the index rebalancing software 40 scales down 44 the Large Individual Stocks in the index, if necessary, by an amount proportional to an excess capitalization weight of the highest capitalized stock in the index.
- the index rebalancing software 40 also scales down 46 the Large Individual Stocks, if necessary, by an aggregate excess capitalization percent weight of a subset of the largest stocks in the index.
- the scaled CPWs of each of the Large Individual Stocks is compared to the original CPW for the Large Individual Stock prior to rebalancing to produce an Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight.
- the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight is distributed 48 over the Small Individual Stocks. In one approach, this weight, as will be described in conjunction with FIG. 5, is distributed over the Small Individual Stocks in an iterative manner.
- the index rebalancing software 40 retains a capitalization weighting characteristic permitting the index to conform to generally accepted accounting, economic and tax standards. Moreover, the index rebalancing software 40 rebalances the index while maintaining the original relative position of the stocks in the index.
- the stock index rebalancing software 40 classifies 60 stock based upon their CPW in relation to the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point.
- Anchor Point are used by the classifier 60 to classify each stock as a Large Individual Stock or a Small Individual Stock, as mentioned above. Thus, if a stock has a Current Percent Weight greater than or equal to the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point, it is classified as a Large Individual Stock. If the stock has a Current Percent Weight less - 7 - then the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point, it is classified as a small stock.
- the first threshold e.g. 24%
- each Large Individual Stock is scaled so that the proportion of the amount of the stock's new adjusted CPW, in excess of the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point, measured in relation to the total excess weight of the Large Individual Stocks whose weights have been similarly adjusted is the same as a similar measurement based upon the stock's current percent weight before rescaling.
- FIG. 3A the scale down process 66 to scale excess CPW over all large stocks is shown. Current percent weight in excess of the EWAP
- n 1 ,2,...N, where N is the last of the Large Individual Stocks. - 8 -
- the process 66 sets the current percent weight of the highest weighted stock to a predetermined value as explained above, e.g., 20%, and calculates the current weight percent of that stock above the Equal Dollar Weighted Percent Anchor Point (e.g., 20% - EWAP).
- the process 66 scales the current percent weights of the remaining Large Individual Stocks in excess of the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point to a proportional amount (SCPW ( ) given by Equation 4:
- the process assigns 67e adjusted current percent weights to each of the Large Individual Stocks by assigning the first predetermined weight, e.g., 20% (64,
- FIG. 3 to the highest weighted stock and assigning the scaled capitalization weights determined above plus the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point to each of the remaining large capitalized stocks in the index.
- the index rebalancing software classifies 70 each of the Large Individual Stocks into a sub-classification referred to as Large Combined
- a third threshold e.g., 4.5%
- the process 46 determines 72 the aggregate weight of the Large Combined
- each Large Individual Stock is scaled so that the proportion of its newly adjusted weight in excess of the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point measured in relation to the total excess weight of the Large Individual Stocks whose weights have been similarly adjusted is the same as the comparable proportion calculated using the current percent weights of the stocks prior to scaling.
- the process 76 determines the excess rescaled CPW above the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point for each of the stocks that are classified as a Large Individual Stock in accordance with Equation 5:
- Equation 5 ECPW, - EW, * ((K 2 -(X*EWAP))/ ⁇ EW X )
- Process 76 adjusts 77b percent weights for the Large Individual Stocks by setting the current percent weights of the Large Individual Stocks to an amount corresponding to the excess rescaled percent weight ECPW, plus the Equal Dollar Weighted Anchor Point, as in Equation 6.
- redistributes 48 excess weight from the Large Individual Stocks to the Small Individual Stocks.
- This redistribution 48 is accomplished by calculating 80 an Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight for the Large Individual Stocks by determining a difference of the aggregate weights of the Large Individual Stocks prior to scaling and after scaling process 44 or scaling process 46 (FIG. 2). - 10 -
- the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight is redistributed over the small stocks. Redistribution is accomplished by an iterative scaling process 81.
- the iterative process 81 scales up the largest of the Small Individual Stocks and remaining Small Individual Stocks by a scale factor.
- the scale factor is selected to scale up 82 the current percent weight of the largest Small Individual Stock to the Equal Weighted Anchor Point (EWAP). This scale factor is generally related to the reciprocal of the current weight percent for the particular stock.
- Each of the remaining Small Individual Stocks are scaled up 84 by that scale factor reduced in proportion to each stock's CPW relative to the CPW of the largest Small Individual Stock.
- the process 81 calculates 86 the total increase in Current Percent Weight for all of the small stocks and compares 88 the total current percent weight to the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight. If the total current percent weight is less than the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight, the process 81 will repeat.
- the next largest Small Individual Stock is scaled up 82 by a second scale factor to have that stock's CPW equal the Equal Weighted Anchor Point.
- the remaining Small Individual Stocks in the index are scaled up 84 by a second modified scale factor generally as described above and a second calculation 86 is performed to determine the total increase in the Current Percent Weight for the Small Individual Stocks. This is again compared 88 to the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight. This process 48 continues until the Current Percent Weight is equal to or greater than the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight as determined at 90. If the Current Percent Weight for the Small Individual Stocks equals the Aggregate Redistribution Percent Weight, the process 81 exits 94. Otherwise, the process 81 will undo 92 the last iteration and redo the last iteration using a further modified scale factor chosen to make the current percent weight of the small stocks exactly equal to the aggregate redistribution percent weight.
- the index rebalancing software 40 determines 100 final rebalanced capitalization weights from each of the new capitalization percent weights determined above and will also determine 102 final rebalance index - 11 - weights for each of the stocks.
- the final rebalanced capitalization weights are the weights of Large Individual Stocks determined after 44 (FIG. 2) or 46 (FIG. 2) and the weights of the Small Individual Stocks after 48 (FIG. 2).
- the final rebalanced capitalization weights are used to determine final rebalanced index weights by multiplying the final rebalanced capitalization weight by aggregate dollar capitalization of the index.
- the rebalancing software 40 can calculate an index divisor which will be used to divide the aggregate number representing the total of the rebalanced capitalization weights of all of the stocks in the index. This divisor normalizes the index to a value that the index had prior to the effects of rebalancing.
- the algorithm can be used to rebalance a portfolio of stocks used in an investment strategy stock index. That is, the invention can be used to track the performance of a group of stocks in a capitalization weighted investment portfolio stock index while minimizing the effect of excess capitalization weight attributed to one or more stocks in the portfolio.
