The various Prime sectors are consistent with the historical index data of the CDAX® sectors. In the appendix a table shows the different supersectors, sectors and subsectors.The classification of companies into the respective classic or technology sectors is done on the basis of the defined industry groups.Sector assignment is dependent upon a company’s primary sales focus. Where, in individual cases, a shift in such sales focus has occurred, the respective company can be removed from its present sector and included in another one on the next chaining date.
