All Ordinaries

When established, the All Ords had a base index of 500; this means that if the index is currently at 5000 points, the nominal value of stocks in the All Ords in Australian dollars has increased tenfold since January 1980.

On 3 April 2000, the All Ords was restructured to consist of the 500 largest companies by market capitalisation.[2] This coincided with the introduction of new benchmark indices such as the S&P/ASX 200. The importance of the All Ords has been significantly lessened by the introduction of these new indices.
