Methodology

For the DAX UCITS Capped index, the same index calculation and index selection rules as for DAX apply. In contrast to DAX, the DAX UCITS Capped index applies a different capping method for index components. For the DAX UCITS Capped index, a 4.5/8.5/35 capping method is used. The procedure is as follows:
Step A) All companies are capped at a maximum of 8.5% using the single cap limit method.
Step B) The components are then ranked from the largest to the smallest (if more than one component has a weight of 8.5% after Step A), the original weight is used to determine the order).
Step C) Maximum weights are determined for the largest five components resulting from Step B). The maximum weights allowed for the largest five components are 8.5%, 7.5%, 7%, 6.5% and 5.5%. All other components are capped at a maximum weight of 4.5%. For example, if the weight of the second-largest component exceeds 7.5%, it is capped at this figure.
Step D) Step C) is repeated until all components meet the restrictions contained in it.
The detailed DAX UCITS Capped index methodology can be found in the DAX Equity Index Methodology Guide.
The detailed index calculation formula can be found in the DAX Equity Index Calculation Guide.
