Direct Answer

European indexes split along two lines: national benchmarks that track one country's listed companies, and regional benchmarks that span the continent or the euro area. The two answer different questions and are not substitutes.

Every european stock market indexes in this group

A national index is heavily shaped by which industries happen to be listed in that country, which is why single-country European benchmarks can be far more concentrated by sector than their size suggests.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many european stock market indexes does Swoopr cover?

Swoopr covers 25 indexes in this group, each with its own page explaining what it measures and how it is built.

Are index constituent lists published here?

No. Index providers license constituent data and Swoopr holds no such licence, so each index page links to the provider for current membership.

Does a higher index level mean a better market?

No. Index levels are not comparable across indexes. A level is the output of one index's own formula and base value, so comparing two levels directly measures nothing.
