Starting today the Vienna Stock Exchange calculates and publishes three new indices: The „ATX Prime Capped 8“ is a free-float weighted price index, the „ATX Prime Capped 8 Total Return“ and the „ATX Prime Capped 8 Net Total Return” are free-float weighted total return indices. The underlying index for the ATX Prime Capped 8 indices is the ATX Prime which consists of all stocks traded in the prime market segment of Vienna Stock Exchange. However, the weighting factors are determined in such way so as to ensure that none of the index stocks is weighted by more than 8 %. This is to fit the demand of investment companies and expand Vienna Stock Exchange’s offering to the fund industry. The new indices are designed as tradable indices that can be used as underlying for structured products as well as for standardised derivatives.
