Due to the composition of the total market capitalisation of the Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX), the current Namibian Overall Index (NO98) which is in essence an uncapped arithmetic weighted index, has become less relevant for most market players. In line with our strategy to promote the Namibian Financial Markets Simonis Storm Securities computed new indices with the view to assist our clients in their decision making. These indices are:

• Simonis Storm Namibian All Share Index (SSS-NASI)
• Simonis Storm Namibian All Share Performance Index (SSS-NASPI)
• Simonis Storm Capped Namibian All Share Index (SSS-CNASI)
• Simonis Storm Capped Namibian All Share Performance Index (SSS-CNASPI)

The prefered Simonis Storm benchmark is the Simonis Storm Capped Namibian All Share Performance Index (SSS-CNASPI). It combines the following important improvements:

• takes into account the positive impact of dividends on the performance of the equity market. (Performance Indices)
• caps the heavy weighted constituents of the index. (Capped Indices)

Further details concerning the computation rules and the data history can be found in the SSS-Index-Documentation. Furthermore we offer via our web site users the opportunity to obtain the current index values.
