English term or phrase: make ... rather more like

Anyone who buys the index in Brazil has a big exposure to these two asset classes—Petrobras, the state-controlled oil company, and Vale, a global mining company, together account for just over 30% of the Bovespa's total market value.
Other agricultural producers also carry a lot of weight.
This bias towards commodities **makes the Bovespa rather more like **Australia's All Ordinaries index than like stockmarkets in India or China.
