Search for S&P/BYMA Argentina General Construction Index by its full name first. If your broker or data platform accepts Bloomberg tickers, use SPBYCAP for the price-return series or SPBYCAT for the total-return series. These identifiers describe index data series; they do not guarantee that a particular broker carries them or uses the same search syntax.
Which symbol should you enter?
| Index series | Bloomberg ticker | What to select |
|---|---|---|
| S&P/BYMA Argentina General Construction Index | SPBYCAP | Price return |
| S&P/BYMA Argentina General Construction Index | SPBYCAT | Total return |
S&P Dow Jones Indices lists these Bloomberg tickers for the Construction index. A broker may display a different local identifier or may not offer the series.
How to find it in a broker or data platform
- Search the full name: S&P/BYMA Argentina General Construction Index.
- If the platform supports Bloomberg identifiers, search SPBYCAP for price return or SPBYCAT for total return.
- Check that the result is the Construction index and that its return type matches what you need.
- If neither the name nor ticker returns a match, check the platform’s market-data documentation or contact its support team to ask whether it carries the index and what search term it uses.
These are lookup steps based on the publisher’s identifiers, not confirmation that any particular broker supports the index.

The broader S&P/BYMA Argentina General Index has the Bloomberg price-return ticker SPBYMAIG; the Construction index’s price- and total-return tickers are SPBYCAP and SPBYCAT, respectively. The broader index’s code is listed on its official index page.

S&P Dow Jones Indices gives the Construction index’s launch date as October 7, 2019. The publisher cautions that data before launch is hypothetical back-tested history, not actual performance of the launched index. If a platform displays earlier values, treat them as back-tested data rather than live index history.
