There is sometimes talk about the $DAX index, and I recently realized that I don't really know what companies are in that index.
The most important and well-known stocks that the DAX index contains :
Adidas
Allianz
BASF
Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Post
Deutsche Telekom
The DAX is up more than 15% this year, which of course is nice.
I've been wondering whether to invest in the DAX and I have to say I don't know much. I don't want to buy specific German stocks and thus the DAX would be a great alternative. However, I don't know whether to invest in DAX when I already have a portfolio diversified enough and have bought other ETFs.
I would appreciate your opinion and your view on the DAX index.
