Deutsche Boerse AG and STOXX Limited today announced that Deutsche Boerse has been named "Best Index Provider" for the creation and development of the DAX Indices. These, as well as the SIX Swiss Exchange Indices have been marketed and distributed by STOXX Ltd. since July 2010 as a result of the changed ownership of STOXX Ltd.
The "Best Index Provider" award is part of the "portfolio masters Leserpreise 2010" and was presented at the Portfolio Masters 2010 hosted by Portfolio Verlag. Award winners were selected based on votes cast by the readers of Portfolio International and Portfolio Institutionell. The magazines' readerships consist of users of indexes and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
There are currently 275 exchange-traded funds based on STOXX, DAX and SMI indices. For more information on the STOXX, DAX or SMI indices, please visit www.dax-indices.com or www.six-swiss-exchange.com.
