General
The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index is a capitalisation-weighted index sponsored by STOXX Limited, a
partnership between Deutsche Börse AG, Dow Jones and Company and SWX Swiss Exchange. The Dow Jones
EURO STOXX 50® Index is composed of 50 European blue-chip stocks from those countries participating in
the European Monetary Union. Each Component’s weight is capped at 10% of the index’s total free-float market
capitalisation and the free-float weights are reviewed quarterly. The index composition however is reviewed
anually in September. The objective of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index is to provide a definitive
standard for measuring stock market performance on an Eurozone basis and to provide a liquid base for
derivative products.
Calculation of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index
The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index is calculated by STOXX Limited with the Laspeyres formula, which
measures price changes against a fixed base quantity weight. Each index has a unique index divisor, which is
adjusted to maintain the continuity of the index’s values across changes due to corporate action.
The input data sources for the index calculation include trading platforms, regulatory agencies, companies in the
investable stock universe and related service providers.
The methodology used to construct and maintain the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index aims to produce an
investable index in which all constituent stocks are readily accessible and well traded. The Dow Jones EURO
STOXX 50® Index is computed only on the basis of the traded prices during the official trading hours on the
various exchanges where the 50 stocks are listed. The official closing value for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX
50® Index is calculated using the closing level of each stock that did trade and adjusted closing prices of the
previous trading day for these stocks that did not trade on the current day.
