DAX 40

Germany's blue-chip benchmark of the 40 largest companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, expanded from 30 to 40 constituents in 2021. Unusually for a headline index, it is calculated as a performance (total-return) index that reinvests dividends.

This asset is calculated on the venue linked above — a typed relationship in the dataset, not a name that happened to match. The parties named after it (Deutsche Börse (index provider)) matter to how it trades but are not entities here.

No live level is shown for this asset: our open, keyless sources cover crypto, major FX crosses, the ECB policy rate, the US 10-year yield and US CPI — index levels and commodity prices are only available from licensed vendors, and we do not publish figures we cannot source openly. What we do carry.
