History
Price evolution of the AEX index between October 1992 and November 2007.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 euro is the official currency of the eurozone: 16 of the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is also the currency used by the EU institutions. The eurozone consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. Estonia is).[2] The index's peak to date is 703.18, reached on 5 September 2000 at the height of the dot-com bubble The "dot-com bubble" was a speculative bubble covering roughly 1995–2000 (with a climax on March 10, 2000 with the NASDAQ peaking at 5132.52) during which stock markets in industrialized nations saw their equity value rise rapidly from growth in the more recent Internet sector and related fields. While the latter part was a boom and.[3] The index value more than halved over the following three years before recovering in line with most global financial markets.
The AEX index enjoyed its second largest one-day loss on September 29, 2008, when the index closed down almost 9%. The decade between 1998 and 2008 has been bad for the AEX index, as it has been the worst performing stock index except for the OMX Iceland 15 The OMX Iceland 15 is a stock market index consisting of a maximum of 15 companies listed on the OMX Iceland Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalization (at present only 10 companies make up the index, four of which are Faroese).

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.[5] Previously, index changes were made only annually in March. Any changes made are effected on the following trading day.[6]
At the main March review date, the 25 companies with the highest share The stock or capital stock of a business entity represents the original capital paid into or invested in the business by its founders. It serves as a security for the creditors of a business since it cannot be withdrawn to the detriment of the creditors. Stock is distinct from the property and the assets of a business which may fluctuate in turnover (in Euros The euro is the official currency of the eurozone: 16 of the 27 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is also the currency used by the EU institutions. The eurozone consists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. Estonia is) over the previous year deemed to be "representative of the Dutch equity market" are admitted to the index.[7] Companies which have fewer than 25% of shares considered free float The free float of a public company is an estimate of the proportion of shares that are not held by large owners and that are not stock with sales restrictions on Euronext Amsterdam and a free-float market capitalisation Market capitalization/capitalisation is a measurement of size of a business enterprise (corporation) equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding of a public company. As owning stock represents ownership of the company, including all its equity, capitalization could represent the public opinion of a company's net worth and is a ranked lower than 25th are, however, ineligible for inclusion.[7] Unlike some other European Europe is one of the world's seven continents. Comprising the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, Europe is generally divided from Asia to its east by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus region (Specification of borders) and the Black Sea to the southeast. Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean and benchmark equity indices (such as the OMXS30 The OMX Stockholm 30 is a stock market index for the Stockholm Stock Exchange. It is a market value-weighted index that consists of the 30 most-traded stock classes), if a company has more than one class of shares traded on the exchange, only the most actively traded of these will be accepted into the AEX.[7] If a company or companies are removed from the index due to delisting Delisting refers to the practice of removing the stock of a company from a stock exchange so that investors can no longer trade shares of the stock on that exchange. This typically occurs when a company goes out of business, declares bankruptcy, no longer satisfies the listing rules of stock exchange, or has become a private company after a merger, acquisition The phrase mergers and acquisitions refers to the aspect of corporate strategy, corporate finance and management dealing with the buying, selling and combining of different companies that can aid, finance, or help a growing company in a given industry grow rapidly without having to create another business entity or another reason, no replacements are made until the next review date.[7]
At the September interim review (based on the data of the last day of June), no changes are made to the AEX unless either the index has seen one or more constituents removed, or a non-constituent possesses an share turnover ranked 15th or higher overall over the previous year (e.g. July 2007 - June 2008).[5] If vacancies are to be filled, the highest-ranking non-AEX companies are selected to join the index.[5]
Weighting
The AEX is a market value-weighted index. At each main annual review, the index weightings of companies in the index are capped at 15%,[6] but range freely with share price In the United States, a share must be priced at $1 or more to be covered by NASDAQ. If the share price falls below that level the stock is "delisted", and becomes an OTC . A stock must have a price of $1 or more for 10 consecutive trading days during each month to remain listed subsequently. The index weights are calculated with respect to the closing prices of the relevant companies on March 1. At the interim review in September, weightings after adjustment are left as close as possible to those of the previous day and are not re-capped.[7]
Calculation
The index comprises a basket of shares, the numbers of which are based on the constituent weights and index value at the time of readjustment. The value of the index is calculated by multiplying the price (in Euros) of each of the stocks by the number of shares that stock in the basket, then summing the resulting numbers and dividing by 100.[7]
Composition
The 25 stocks below constitute the index as of the annual review effective 3 March 2009.[8]
