Summary/Abstract: This research paper analyzes the impact of the announcements of changes in the composition of the BET index on the return of the stocks added during the period 2017-2022. Through an event study I computed the abnormal returns for the stocks added to the BET index. Results show that these stocks experience a price increase on the date of announcing the inclusion in the index. However, the observed effects are temporary and the stock prices return to the previous level in a few trading days, thus supporting the price pressure hypothesis.
