The BA-30
The BA-30 is a market-capitalization weighted index that tracks the performance of 30 selected stocks quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

The Index is calculated using a base weighted aggregate methodology. It employs a modified market capitalization-weighting methodology.

The constituent stocks in the BA–30 cut across different sectors of the market. These include banking, infrastructure, consumer goods, insurance and oil and gas.

Its purpose is to serve as a benchmark to measure the performance of stocks that fulfill the twin criteria of liquidity and capitalization.
  • Market Capitalization as measured by market price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.
  • Liquidity as measured by the ratio of average daily value traded and the market capitalization.
