With all 40 constituents accessible to U.S. investors, the index of the French stockmarket - CAC40 - is sligtly broader than the selection's companion theme of 30 'Largest Firms listed on U.S. Markets' - to be published shortly
One very large cap firm, exceeding $120 bn, is not included in the CAC index : luxury firm Christian Dior
Loosely traded on OTC markets, the OTC shares performance will usually reflect the trend but not the actual performance on their home market, adjusted for currency shifts - their track record on OTC is strictly informative and might justify further research
With low trading volume on U.S. OTC markets for the listed shares, performance, volatility and drawdown calculations will be affected - these ratios do not reflect true performance, volatility and drawdown as these same shares are normally traded on their national exchange
The benchmark of the selection is iShares MSCI France ETF
Our platform of asset information will include fundamental data information for companies listed on NYSE and NASDAQ, but accounting data for OTC (over-the-counter) quoted firms is not avaiable
