TheAll Ordinaries (XAO) (colloquially known as theAll Ords; also known as theAll Ordinaries Index, AOI) is the oldestindex of shares in Australia. Established in January 1980, it is made up of the share prices for 500 of the largest companies listed on theAustralian Securities Exchange (ASX).[2] Themarket capitalisation of the companies included in the All Ords index amounts to over 95% of the value of all shares listed on the ASX. The 3-letter exchange ticker in Australia for the All Ordinaries is "XAO". ASX indices are managed byS&P Dow Jones Indices.
When established, the All Ords had a base index of 500; this means that if the index is currently at 5000 points, the nominal value of stocks in the All Ords inAustralian dollars has increased tenfold since January 1980.
On 3 April 2000, the All Ords was restructured to consist of the 500 largest companies by market capitalisation.[3] This coincided with the introduction of new benchmark indices such as theS&P/ASX 200. The importance of the All Ords has been significantly lessened by the introduction of these new indices.
