/KASE, May 30, 2025/ – As of June 2, 2025, Kazakhstan Stock Exchange
(KASE) will begin publishing a new stock index – the KASE Total Return Index
(KASE_TR Index) with the calculation start date set for January 1, 2025.
The KASE_TR Index reflects the change in the prices of shares of the KASE
Index list and the total dividend income of shares included in the KASE Index
list. At the same time, when calculating the KASE_TR Index, dividends are taken
into account as of the record date in accordance with the legislation of the
Republic of Kazakhstan.
The initial value of the KASE_TR Index was fixed at 5,636.66 points as of 18:00
Almaty time on December 31, 2024 and was determined by the decision of the
Index and Indicators Committee dated April 15, 2025. The initial value was the
KASE Index value as of December 31, 2024, taking into account the dividend
income for the fourth quarter of 2024, which ensures the relevance and accuracy
of the calculation.
The KASE_TR Index will be calculated once a day on business days and
published on KASE's website in the "Indices" section (Stock Market – Shares) at
the link
https://kase.kz/ru/indexes-and-indicators/shares/kase-index or as a
separate news item.
The KASE_TR index is calculated from January 1, 2025, in order to generate
historical data from the beginning of the reporting year, which will be
available at the specified link.
As previously reported, KASE's internal document "Methodology for calculating
stock market indices and indicators" has been amended accordingly and will
come into effect on June 2, 2025.
