Westfield Group, a new official supplier to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, will be added to the Dow Jones Summer/Winter Games Index, Dow Jones Indexes announced today.
The Dow Jones Summer/Winter Games Index measures the performance of all publicly traded securities of companies that are official partners, sponsors or suppliers of the next Olympiad – in this case, the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.
A Sydney, Australia-based retail property group, Westfield Group is the official Shopping Centre developer of the London Summer Olympic Games in 2012.
No components will be deleted from the index as a result of the regular quarterly review, Dow Jones Indexes, a global index provider, said. The index is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December.
Effective after the close of trading on December 16, 2011, the addition of Westfield Group will increase the number of components in the index to 39 from 38. As of December 7, 2011, the free-float market capitalization of the reconstituted Dow Jones Summer/Winter Games Index increased to US$1,403.0 billion from US$1,384.9 billion.
