BIST 100

The BIST 100 is a stock market index composed of the 100 largest publicly traded companies on the Borsa İstanbul (BIST), the primary stock exchange of Turkey. The index represents the performance of these leading companies, providing a benchmark for investors and analysts to gauge the overall health and direction of the Turkish equity market.

The composition of the BIST 100 is reviewed and adjusted periodically to reflect changes in market capitalization and trading volume of the constituent companies. These adjustments ensure that the index remains representative of the largest and most liquid stocks on the exchange.

The BIST 100 is a market-capitalization weighted index, meaning that companies with larger market capitalizations have a greater influence on the index's value. The index is calculated in real-time during trading hours and serves as an important indicator for investment funds, institutional investors, and individual traders interested in the Turkish stock market. It is also used as the basis for derivative products such as futures and options contracts.

The BIST 100 is often used to compare the performance of individual stocks and investment portfolios against the broader Turkish market. It is tracked by both domestic and international investors seeking exposure to the Turkish economy.
