Copenhagen Stock Exchange: Systematic Error In Capped Indices

The Copenhagen Stock Exchange has regrettably detected a systematic error in the calculation of the weights of the capped versions of KAX and KBX. The error involves the group of companies that weight between 5 and 10 per cent. The total weight of this group may not be more than 40 per cent. As a result of the error, these companies have been continuously overweighted.

With effect from today, the Exchange has therefore recalculated the historical values for the capped indices. The historical values of the performance indices can be downloaded via the links below:

KAXcap

KBXcap

On Tuesday 29 April 2003, the above-mentioned historical values will be re- dispatched via the Exchange's CK queues.

The Exchange apologises for any inconvenience the error may have caused.
