2. LSE INDEX
• The LSE-25 index calculates the performance
of stocks assuming that all rights issues and bonus
share issues only increase the listed capital so that the
prices of the shares are not adjusted as they are in the
case of the LSETRI.
• The LSE25 also assumes that dividends paid out by a
component company are not reinvested. In summary,
in the LSE25, no price adjustments are made when
any component company issues cash dividends
