Upon
full completion of Euronext's planned integration process, Euronext will
be the first fully integrated, cross-border, E u r o p e a n market for
equities, bonds, derivatives and commodities.
Euronext
has launched two Pan-European indices (2/10/ 2000) :
The
blue chips indices: Euronext 100, Next
150. These indices were launched on October 2, 2000. The classification
of the Euronext list follows the FTSE Global Classification System, which
segments the values in 10 economical groups, 36 industrial sectors and
100 industrial sub-sectors, a system that is used now in France, and also
in The Netherlands and Belgium, in London, Madrid and Hong Kong, as well
as by Reuters and Datastream.
The
indices are calculated by Euronext Indices B.V., a 100% subsidiary of Euronext,
using the same methodology as the world’s main index compilers. At the
time of Euronext’s launch these new indices were only used for benchmarking
purposes, but in the longer term derivatives may be introduced on these
indices.
Last
2 January 2002, as part of the launch of the NextPrime and NextEconomy
segments, four new indices have been created to reflect developments in
share prices and returns in these segments. A price index and a total return
index are calculated for each segment.
