CFA Mock 2011 - Question Regarding Index 2011

NakedPuts

Market oriented? Isn't the STI index value weighted? If the portfolio tracks the value weighted index doesn't that make it value weighted?

Comments appreciated.

This was discussed at length in previous threads with little clarity. No one knew for sure. Another obscure question from the institute.

The question is related to the style of the strategy. It is asking, from a holdings based perspective if the portfolio exhibits value growth or market oriented characteristics. Since the characteristics are spot on the index.....its market oriented.

Value weighted index refers to how weights are defined by market value, its not related to the characteristics of the underlying holdings.....hope this helps.
