RX REIT All Share Index

The introduction of the REIT segment is also the start of a Deutsche Börse Real Estate Index family. Following the promulgation of REIT legislation in Germany, Deutsche Börse has launched a separate segment class for this segment and will be calculating specific REIT indices. Investors will be provided with an easy way of identifying REITs for a specific investment as well as a high level of transparency. German REITs can be listed on the EU-regulated market on the General Standard, which is based on the EU minimum requirements, or on the Prime Standard, which imposes the highest transparency requirements in the EU.

• The RX REIT All Share Index covers all REITs on the Prime Standard and General Standard. Weighting in accordance with pure market capitalization.

All REITs contained in the index have to be listed in the REIT segment of Deutsche Börse. Based on these indices, product providers can create investment products, e.g. derivatives and index funds. REITs are included in the equity selection indices, such as the DAX, MDAX or the SDAX, at the same time until further notice, provided that they meet the respective inclusion requirements.
