Effective 18 June, new index weights will apply for companies in the equity indices of Deutsche Boerse. Deutsche Boerse released the preliminary weighting figures today.
An update of the prelimary weighting will be published Friday. The preliminary data can be downloaded from the Deutsche Boerse website (www.deutsche-boerse.com). The final figures based on Friday’s Xetra closing prices will be published on the Deutsche Boerse website Saturday.
On Tuesday 5 June, Deutsche Boerse decided on changes in its equity indices DAX, MDAX and SDAX that will take effect 18 June. Merck will be included in DAX and will replace Altana.
The company does no longer meet the criteria to remain in the index in terms of market capitalization and leaves the index on the basis of the so-called fast-exit rule. Altana will move to MDAX replacing Merck. In SDAX Axel Springer will be included replacing the share of Thiel Logistik. The share of Alstria will also be included in SDAX replacing the share of Cewe Color.
The next equity index review is scheduled for 5 September.
