[edit] Market Indices
KSE began with a 50 shares index. As the market grew a representative index was needed. On November 1, 1991 the KSE-100 was introduced and remains to this date the most generally accepted measure of the Exchange. The KSE-100 is a capital weighted index and consists of 100 companies representing about 90 percent of market capitalization of the Exchange. In 1995 the need was felt for an all share index to reconfirm the KSE-100 and also to provide the basis of index trading in future. On August 29, 1995 the KSE all share index was constructed and introduced on September 18, 1995.
[edit] Arbitration
KSE has devised procedures for resolution of investors complaints against members and between inter stock exchanges members. Disputes between investors and members of the Exchange are resolved through the deliberations of the Arbitration Committee of the Exchange.
