The Romanian Traded Index (ROTX) is a stock market index that tracks the performance of the most liquid and actively traded stocks listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).[1] The index was developed by the Bucharest Stock Exchange in collaboration with the Wiener Börse and is calculated and disseminated in real time by the latter in euro (EUR), U.S. dollars (USD) and Romanian lei (RON).[1]

Unlike the BET index, which is the local benchmark index of the Romanian market, ROTX is designed as a tradable index and can be used as an underlying asset for derivative instruments, including futures contracts and options, as well as structured products like warrants, exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and swaps on international markets.[1]

The ROTX also serves as a primary gateway for foreign investors seeking exposure to the Romanian economy.[4] Because it is disseminated by the Wiener Börse in major global currencies, such as euro and U.S. dollars, it reduces foreign exchange risks for institutional investors. Furthermore, several investment funds, such as the BT Index Romania ROTX, allow investors to gain diversified exposure to the blue chip stocks of the Romanian capital market.[5]

History

The index was officially launched on 15 March 2005, with a base value of 1,000 points.[1] The partnership between the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) and Wiener Börse was established to increase the visibility of the Romanian capital market among foreign institutional investors, using the technical infrastructure and calculation standards of the CECE Family Index managed by the Wiener Börse.[1][6]

Over the past decade, ROTX has reflected the maturation of capital markets in Romania, benefiting from major listings such as Digi Communications (2017) and Hidroelectrica (2023).[7][8]

Methodology

ROTX is a price index, which means that it does not include dividends paid by its constituent companies in the calculation of its value (unlike the total return variant).[1] Index constituents are selected based on market liquidity and market capitalization, with weights determined by free float and are intended to be capped at 20% per company to ensure diversification and compliance with UCITS standards.[9] The index composition is reviewed semi-annually, in March and September, by the CEE & CIS Index Committee.[10] The calculation parameters, including the free-float and representation factors, are updated quarterly.[1]

Composition
