3. From the perspective of the distribution of shares: we can find that in the weekly update of the “Dividend Assignment Adjustment of the Week” data, DAX30 has maintained a value of 0 for a long time.

This is not because DAX30 does not pay dividends, but the dividends distributed by Deutsche Börse DAX30 will be directly reinvested in the stock market.

This is also the biggest difference between DAX30 and other stock indexes.

As result, DAX30 when the constituent stocks pay dividends, the price change of DAX30 will be slightly more severe than other stock indexes.

The increase in constituent stocks is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of dividend assignments, and price changes due to dividends may be more frequent.
