The TOPIX (Tokyo Stock Price Index) is a free-floating adjusted Index of the total market value of all stocks traded on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The index is a measure of the changes in aggregate market value of the stocks, using the closing total on 4 January 1968 as the base of the Index, with a starting value of 100.

The aggregate market value is adjusted so that it will not be affected by changes in the aggregate market value due to factors other than market conditions such as paid-in capital increases, new listings or delistings, to ensure continuity of the index. The TOPIX has established a global reputation as a representative Japanese stock index.
