Direct Answer
The MDAX is a rule-based measurement of german mid-cap benchmark, maintained by STOXX/Deutsche Börse. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of companies, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The MDAX covers german mid-cap benchmark, within the Germany market. STOXX/Deutsche Börse defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The index name does not state a fixed company count, so the number of constituents follows the eligibility rules rather than a target.
How constituents are weighted
Swoopr has not verified the weighting method for this index against STOXX/Deutsche Börse's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
Current MDAX constituents
STOXX/Deutsche Börse publishes and licenses the MDAX constituent list. Swoopr does not republish it here. The provider's own page is the authoritative source for current membership and weights.
