Description

This index is designed to track the performance of major German corporations whose shares are traded in Euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, with constituent weighting based on free-float adjusted market capitalization. A strict ESG screening process excludes companies that fail to meet certain environmental, social, and governance standards. These exclusions encompass, but are not limited to: those with an ISS ESG Rating of D- or worse; companies flagged as 'Red' by ISS ESG's Norms Based Screening; any entities implicated in controversial weapons; those exceeding predefined revenue limits in contentious sectors such as tobacco, thermal coal extraction, oil sands, nuclear energy production, civilian firearms, and military apparatus; or companies lacking comprehensive ESG data. The index components are reviewed every quarter, and no single holding is permitted to exceed 15% of the index's weight. Further details on the index, including its selection and weighting methodology, can be accessed at dax-indices.com.
