STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced the new composition of the STOXX Benchmark and their sub- and sector indices, among them the STOXX Europe 600 Index, STOXX North America 600 Index and STOXX Asia/Pacific 600 Index.
As announced previously, the index universe for the STOXX Global 1800 Index and all related sub and sector indices will be changed to cover those countries which are classified as developed markets as defined by the STOXX Emerging and Developed Markets Country Classification. As a result companies listed in the Czech Republic will become eligible for inclusion in these indices, while Chinese Red Chips and companies listed in Iceland will be excluded from the universe from this review on. Furthermore, Croatia is being added to the index universe of the STOXX EU Enlarged Index, since the country joined the European Union on July 1, 2013.
Effective as of the open of European markets on September 23, 2013, the following stocks will be added to and deleted from the STOXX Europe 600 Index and its respective size and sector indices:
