To calculate the RTS index, you need to take as a basis the prices of 50 liquid shares of the most capitalized companies located on the territory of Russia.

The index is calculated on a regular basis, every 15 seconds following the results of trading on the stock exchange. This means that its value in real time is constantly changing.
Quarterly (four times a year)the composition of the index is revised. From the calculation base, some stocks are removed, adding others. The share of any one share, which is part of its structure, can not be more than 15 percent.
