calculation

The NASDAQ-100 is a price index . It consists of 100 stocks of the Nasdaq Composite with the highest market capitalization . The index level is determined solely on the basis of share prices and only adjusted for income from subscription rights and special payments. The index weighting is based on the market capitalization of the listed companies. Corporate actions such as stock splits have no (distorting) influence on the index. The market value results from the multiplication of the share price of the respective company and the total number of share certificates issued by the company. The calculation is updated every second during NASDAQ trading hours from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm local time (3:30 pm to 10:00 pm CET).

The investment universe includes all companies that are listed on NASDAQ . To create a selection list, the companies in the investment universe are sorted in descending order according to market capitalization. Only companies with a market value of not less than 0.1 percent of the total market capitalization of the NASDAQ-100 at two consecutive month-ends and that have already been listed on the NASDAQ for two years are considered. Likewise, an average of 200,000 shares in the company must be traded per day. The index weighting of the index components may not exceed 24.0 percent. The composition is usually decided once a year, the weighting of the listed companies is checked four times a year. The basis for the calculation of the Nasdaq-100 are the share prices of the companies.
