Index Launch new ATX & CEESEG Sectors
Date: 01.09.2011
Today, the Vienna Stock Exchange started calculating and publishing
new sector indices for the ATX and CEESEG (CEE Stock Exchange Group whose subsidiaries are the
exchanges of Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague and Vienna) to round off its range of indices and meet
market demand. The ATX sector indices are based on the companies in the ATX Prime, and the CEESEG
sector indices include companies contained in the leading indices of the CEE Stock Exchange Group,
i.e., the ATX (Austrian Traded Index), the PX (Prague Stock In-dex), the BUX (Budapest Stock
Index), and the SBI TOP (Slovene Blue Chip Index). The sector indices cover stocks from basic
industries, consumer products and services, financials, and industrial goods and services. They
have been designed to serve as representative benchmarks for investors.
The indices are used as underlyings for investment instruments such
as structured products (certificates, exchange-traded funds, warrants, passive managed funds) and
standardized derivatives (futures and options).
