The DAX 30 ESG index is the latest introduction to a family of sustainable German benchmarks from DAX. It incorporates negative exclusionary screens and selects large stocks with the highest ESG scores.

Since 2020, the DAX indices have undergone a sustained evolution to have their rules adjusted and aligned with the needs of modern markets. As of March 2024, the indices’ methodology will change the way they treat corporate actions, while data distribution will move to the reporting system used by STOXX indices. Additionally, the indices’ weight cap for individual constituents will be raised from 10% to 15%.

Watch Michael Lewis, Head of Research for ESG at DWS, Hernando Cortina, Head of Index Strategy at ISS ESG, and Antonio Celeste, Director for Sustainable Product Management at STOXX, as they discuss the significance of biodiversity, and the tools to capture natural impact in both corporate and investment strategies.

Changes were announced as part of the December regular review of the DAX 50 ESG, DAX 50 ESG+, DAX ESG Target, DAX ESG Screened, MDAX ESG+, MDAX ESG Screened and DAX indices.

A unique blue-chip focus means the index selects assets that meet specific crypto-market criteria for quality. The selection is based on a proprietary scoring method and pricing by Bitcoin Suisse.

The STOXX Global 1800 index posted its best month in three years last month following better-than-expected inflation reports. The index finished the month 0.2% shy of its 2023 high in July.

Stocks jumped by the most in three years in November as better-than-expected inflation reports bolstered investors’ expectations that interest rates in the US and elsewhere may have peaked.

STOXX Ltd. will adjust the capping in the DAX index family from 10 to 15 per cent. This was preceded by a broad market consultation which lasted from 11 October to 8 November 2023. The responses reflected a wide range of considerations from different stakeholders. A majority of participants were in favour of raising the capping limit to 15 percent.
