Dow Jones publishes a group of “Select” indices, which are special because their components must meet a minimum requirement for market capitalization. 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.

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.
