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, subject to a maximum weight of 15%. 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
