STOXX®-Derivatives: Renaming of Eurex Products

STOXX Limited renamed its indexes with effect from March 1, 2010 so that these reflect now the company’s changed ownership. In December 2009, Deutsche Börse and SIX Group acquired the stake of STOXX Limited which, so far, used to belong to Dow Jones & Company.

With regard to derivatives listed at Eurex, the name change results in two changes which will be implemented effective March 29, 2010:

  • Elimination of “Dow Jones” (“DJ”) from the product name, and
  • Introduction of “Europe” in the names of all pan-European STOXX® products.

Please find attached a list of all changed Eurex product names. All other product specifications including Eurex codes and ISINs will remain unchanged.
