NEWS: GEX under pressure, DAXplus Family follows market In 2011, German entrepreneurial firms were under pressure. As compared to the DAX 30 index of German blue chip stocks which lost 15 percent from January 2011 to the beginning of December, the German Entrepreneurial Index (GEX®) lost 38 percent within the same time frame. The German Entrepreneurial Index (GEX®) represents entrepreneurial owner-managed firms in Germany which have not been listed for more than ten years. The index is computed by Deutsche Börse and was developed in cooperation with CEFS. The development of the DAXplus Family 30 index was similar to the DAX 30 blue chip index. The German family firm index lost about 18 percent of its value from January 2011 until the beginning of December. During 2011, co-movement of DAX and DAXplus family was observable to a great extent. The DAXplus Family consists of German Prime Standard firms with founding family ownership of at least 25% of voting rights or a minimum of 5% of voting rights and at least one family representative being part of the management or supervisory board.
