The components of the CBV-Index are selected by its council. The council selects the companies in CBV-Index so that they meet the following criteria:
  • The companies must be listed in either Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh stock exchange centres (HASTC and HOSTC)
  • Large Market Capitalization: Total market capital of the company should be greater than 500,000,000,000 VND
  • High liquidity: the ratio of annual dollar value traded to float adjusted market capitalization should be 0.4 or greater-Sector representative: Corporations are representatives of main economic sectors, sector balance is maintained.
  • Types of corporations: Corporations must be operating companies; holding companies will not be listed in CBV-Index portfolio.

Methodology

CBV-Index measures the change of average stock market prices using float adjusted market capitalization method.

The percentage of shares available for public investors- public float (IWF- Investable Weight Factor) will be calculated using the following formula:

:::{| style="vertical-aligne: middle; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center" cellspacing=1
|rowspan="2" | IWF =
| style="border-bottom: 1px solid black" | Number of shares available for public
|-
| style="border-top: 1px solid black" | total number of listed shares
|}

Then, float adjusted market capitalization index will be calculated according to the following formula:
{| style="vertical-aligne: middle; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center" cellspacing=1

|rowspan="2" | Index =
| style="border-bottom: 1px solid black" |ΣiPiQiIWFi
|-
| style="border-top: 1px solid black" | Divisor
|}
Pi is market price of share i, Qi is the number of listed shares. IWF if the percentage of shares available for public investors, Divisor (D) is the index divisor. Divisor D will be adjusted so that CBV index will not be affected as the result of issuance of additional shares, addition of newly listed companies or removal of listed companies in CBV index.
