The adjustment factor plays a key role in the computation and maintenance of indices. Changes in the index capitalization resulting from changes in the index composition or from corporate actions by the individual index constituents must not influence the index value.The job of the adjustment factor is to balance out such variations and to keep the index on the same level before and after the operational adjustments. Internationally the divisor, which has the same function as the adjustment factor, is used more often. In the table below you can find the current adjustment factors and divisors for all indices.
