Overview

Dow Jones Indexes maintains a variety of indexes beyond those in our standard index families. Typical examples include the following:

Composite indexes of securities listed on specific exchanges.
Indexes with modified weighting schemes.
Indexes created to isolate specific company or security types (e.g. LPTs or IPOs).
Indexes of securities that are available only to local investors.

Aside from rules addressing these objectives, the methodologies of these indexes are consistent with those of our standard index families.
