Working with the Germany 40 (DAX) series

The DAX is unusual among major indices in being a performance index: dividends are treated as reinvested and are already in the level. Comparing it directly against price-return indices like the S&P 500 or FTSE 100 therefore overstates German outperformance — you are comparing total return against price return. Correct for this before drawing cross-market conclusions. Coverage begins 2013.
