Abstract
Systems and techniques for providing an index of initial public offerings (IPOs) may include selecting a set of IPOs for inclusion in the IPO index (IPOX), selecting an index start date and base value, acquiring price data and weighting data for the selected IPOs, determining first adjustment factors associated with any new exclusion of an IPO from the selected set of IPOs, determining second adjustment factors associated with any new inclusion of an IPO in the selected set of IPOs, determining reconstitution dates for the index, and computing an index value based at least in part on the index start date and base value, the acquired price data and weighting data, and the determined first and second adjustment factors.
