Approximate weights, for educational purposes — the index has only 9 constituents (10 until Fortis' collapse in 2008), weighted by free-float market capitalization. Official composition on luxse.com.
What is the LuxX?
The LuxX is the benchmark index of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, fixed at 1,000 points on January 4, 1999, the first trading day after Luxembourg adopted the euro. It is a tightly concentrated index: only the 9 most capitalized and liquid stocks of the Luxembourg market are included (10 before bancassurer Fortis collapsed in 2008).
How can you invest in the LuxX?
Products specifically tracking the LuxX are scarce on international platforms, as the index is thinly followed outside the region. The most direct route remains buying the underlying stocks themselves, several of which (ArcelorMittal, RTL Group, SES) are also listed or followed on other European exchanges.
What sets it apart from other major indices?
With only 9 constituents, the LuxX is one of Europe's most concentrated national indices, and its composition reflects Luxembourg's unusual economic fabric: media (RTL), satellites (SES), steel (ArcelorMittal, Aperam) and family investment holdings (Reinet, Brederode, Luxempart). Unlike the SMI or the FTSE MIB, the LuxX still hasn't recovered its 2007 record, as the 2008 financial crisis hit Luxembourg's financial center hard.
What are the risks and limitations of the LuxX?
This is by far the most concentrated and least liquid index in this selection: ArcelorMittal and Reinet Investments alone account for about 40% of its total weight, and a move in a single stock can be enough to shift the whole index. The small number of constituents and limited trading volumes also make the LuxX harder to replicate efficiently via an ETF than its larger neighbors, and its path depends heavily on cyclical sectors like steel (ArcelorMittal), which are sensitive to global industrial conditions.
How has the LuxX performed during past crises?
2008 was devastating for this small index: an annual decline of about 59%, one of the steepest among European stock indices, worsened by the collapse of the bank-insurer Fortis, then a constituent. The sovereign debt crisis struck hard again in 2011 with a roughly 26% decline. Unlike the CAC 40 or DAX, the LuxX has still not reclaimed its October 2007 record, illustrating the particular vulnerability of small, less diversified indices to economic shocks.
