The Bucharest Exchange Trading Total Return Index (BET-TR) is a stock market index that tracks the performance of the most liquid stocks listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).[1][3] The composition of the BET-TR is identical to that of the BET index. Unlike the price return BET index, which only reflects price movements, the BET-TR is a total return index, meaning it accounts for both price fluctuations and the reinvestment of dividends paid by its constituent companies.[1]

The index is calculated in Romanian leu (RON), euro (EUR), and U.S. dollars (USD).[1] The calculation formula factors in the reinvestment of net dividends on the ex-dividend date. To ensure diversification, the weight of any single company within the index is capped, usually at 20%.[1]

Since its inception, the BET-TR has significantly outperformed the price return BET index due to the consistent dividend policy of large Romanian state-owned and private enterprises. It is often used as a benchmark for investment funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the Romanian market.[1] In 2026, Banca Transilvania, listed the BT Index Romania ETF BET-TR on the Bucharest Stock Exchange designed to track the performance of the BET-TR index.[4][5]

History

The BET-TR was launched by the Bucharest Stock Exchange on 22 September 2014.[1][6][7] It was the first total return index in the history of the Romanian capital market. Its purpose was to provide a more accurate representation of the actual gains realized by long-term investors, as the Romanian market is characterized by high dividend yields compared to regional peers.[1]

The index was launched with a base value of 4,910.39 points, equal to the closing value of BET index on the base date. BET-TR is calculated retroactively starting with 24 September 2012.[1]

Composition

As of 17 April 2026, the Bucharest Exchange Trading Total Return Index consists of the following 20 companies, with a weighting as shown:[2]
