However, the buffer criterion is applied only after the minimum 90% float-adjusted market capitalization coverage is satisfied. To maintain a minimum count of 10 in the index, constituents are retained, and non-constituents are included based on their average float-adjusted market capitalization rank. | No Change | | - Constituent Weightings
