Everything about The Aex Index totally explained
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. Started in
1983, the index is composed of a maximum of 25 of the most actively traded
securities on the exchange. It is one of the main national indices of the pan-European stock exchange group
Euronext alongside
Brussels'
BEL20,
Paris's
CAC 40 and
Lisbon's
PSI-20.
History
The AEX started from a base level of 100 index points on
3 January 1983 (a corresponding value of 45.378 is used for historic comparisons due to the adoption of the
Euro). The index's peak to date is 703.18, reached on 5 September 2000 at the height of the
dot-com bubble. The index value more than halved over the following three years before recovering in line with most global financial markets.
Rules
Selection
As of 2008, the AEX index composition is reviewed twice a year on
March 1 and
September 1 based on the closing prices on the final trading days of January and June. Previously, index changes were made only annually in March. Any changes made are effected on the following trading day.
At the main March review date, the 25 companies with the highest
share turnover (in
Euros) over the previous year deemed to be "representative of the Dutch equity market" are admitted to the index. Companies which have fewer than 25% of shares considered
free float on Euronext Amsterdam and a free-float
market capitalisation ranked lower than 25th are, however, ineligible for inclusion.
