STOXX and DAX indices

CDAX® represents the full spectrum of the German stock market. CDAX® was launched on 17 September 1993 and is calculated as a price and performance index by Deutsche Börse AG. The calculation is based on 30 December 1987 at a value of 100 points. The historical time series goes back to 1970. All German companies in the Prime Standard and General Standard are represented in the CDAX. The index thus represents the full spectrum of the German equities market and serves as an indicator of economic development.

The full range of German industry: Just as the Technology All Share, the Classic All Share® Index contains all companies from the classic sectors in the Prime Standard and General Standard. The classification of companies into the respective classic or technology sectors is based on the DAX Industry Classification. Sectors are assigned on the basis of the issuer’s main sales focus. Once a year in September, the sector classifications are reviewed. In exceptional cases, a company may be reclassified as early as on the next quarterly review date.

DAX® tracks the performance of the 40 largest companies listed on the Regulated Market of Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB®, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange) that fulfil certain minimum quality and profitability requirements. Constituent selection is based on free-float market capitalization. Until September 20, 2021, the number of DAX components was 30.
 
The basic criteria for including companies in DAX are: an existing listing on the Regulated Market of the FWB (Frankfurt Stock Exchange), continuous trading on Xetra®, minimum free float of 10%, legal headquarters or operating headquarters in Germany, timely publication of audited Annual Financial Report, half-yearly Financial Reports and Quarterly Statements.
