AEX index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AEX index, derived from Amsterdam Exchange index, is a stock market index composed of Dutch companies that trade on Euronext Amsterdam, formerly known as the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. The index was started in 1983 under the name European Options Exchange (EOE). It is composed of the 25 largest funds that trade on the exchange and its composition is adjusted annually on March 1 to keep it current. The funds' weight in the index is related to the size of the corresponding companies. The value of the index can be calculated by multiplying the value of each of the stocks by the weight factor assigned to that stock, then summing the resulting numbers and dividing by 100. See [1]
