Key points
At the end of October 2012, the All Ordinaries index was up by 2.9 per cent compared to the end of the previous month, and was 4.0 per cent higher than October 2011.
The S&P/ASX200 was also up in October 2012, 3.0 per cent on the previous month, and was up 5.1 per cent since the end of October 2011.
Compared to the peak in October 2007, the All Ordinaries and the S&P/ASX200 have both lost 33.1 per cent.
What is measured
The purpose of these measures is to provide a broad picture of the performance of the Australian corporate sector. The corporate sector is characterised by larger business capable of listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
The All Ordinaries index is calculated from a weighted average of the largest 500 companies, by market valuation, listed on the ASX.
The S&P/ASX 200 index is drawn from the same market as the All Ordinaries, but is a weighted average of the 100 most capitalised businesses, decided by the S&P Australian Index Committee, and the next 100 highest stocks by market capitalisation. This series is available from March 2000.
The All Ordinaries is typically the benchmark for the performance of ‘the share market’, whereas the S&P/ASX 200 is indicative of the performance of investment grade, highly liquid, shares on the ASX.
