The long history

The index charts reach back to 2003 (Asia-Pacific to 2006). Those levels are back-calculated from today's members at today's share counts, so every company that failed, was taken over or left the market since is missing from them. That makes the history look better than a real index would have been. This page is the other half of the answer: the 2006 starting universe, including the companies that later left, which is where a survivorship-free history would start.
