The component weightings are then capped to ensure a certain degree of diversification. This ensures that a few large-cap issues do not dominate these indices. ## Details **Symbol Group:** Dow Jones Select Indices **Publisher:** S\&P Dow Jones Indices LLC **Update Frequency:** Intraday or end-of-day (EOD) **Online Source:** [Dow Jone Indices](https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/) **Links to Current Symbols:** [Dow Jones Select Indices](https://stockcharts.com/search/?q=%22Dow%20Jones%20Select%20Indices%22\§ion=symbols) ## Characteristics Some of the Dow Jones Select Indices have the words “total return” in their name. A total return index includes all distributions (e.g. dividends) to provide a more realistic picture of investor return. Intraday data is available for some of these indices, but others are updated after the close (end-of-day data (EOD)). Indices based in the Far East tend to be updated after the US markets close. Indices based in Europe tend to have intraday data. Check the symbol catalog and name for the update frequency. Names with “(EOD)” are updated after the market close. ## Chart Example

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://chartschool.stockcharts.com/table-of-contents/index-and-market-indicator-catalog/dow-jones-select-indices.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
