TA BlueTech Index
The TA BlueTech-50 Index is a stock market index of the 50 most highly capitalised Information technology and Biotechnology companies listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). The index was launched on 3 April 2011 and replaced the Tel-Tech 15 Index.[1]
Overview
The TA BlueTech-50 Index was launched as part of an effort by the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to transform itself into a leading global exchange for high-tech companies and lure more overseas investment. Two other indices were launched at the same time, the TA-Technology Index, which includes all the Information Technology companies listed on TASE and TA-Biomed Index, which includes all the Biotechnology and Biomedical engineering companies om TASE; The BlueTech-50 includes all the most highly capitalised companies from both indices.
