Shares are eligible for inclusion in the AEX index if they are among the 25 largest funds on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, ranked by the market capitalization of their freely tradable shares. The AEX is a market-capitalization-weighted index, in which a fund's weight must be no more than 15% to avoid dominance by a single company, such as ASML.

The index is reviewed annually and quarterly, with an interim review on the first day of trading in September to fill open positions. The weight of each fund is determined as a percentage of the total index value, helping to ensure a representative reflection of the Dutch stock market.
