So which sectors and shares are the biggest on the JSE?
Well while South Africa's economy is largely based on primary goods such as agriculture, commodities and basic materials, we do have a large number of shares not contained within these sectors that make up a significant chunk of the overall JSE All Share market capital. Perhaps this shows that South African businesses are very concentrated. I.e there is not enough competition and big chunks of various sector's market share is made up by a select few companies.
While this is definitely the case for some sectors, there are others in which there is extremely strong competition, and that is excluding companies that are active in various sectors and which are not listed on the JSE.
So what does the JSE All Share Index look like at first glance? Well the sunburst chart below should provide readers with a good overview of which sectors and shares on the JSE are signifcant.
