Frequently asked questions
What is DAA-EQ?
DAA-EQ is the equal-weighted headline of the Demeter Ag Aggregate (DAA) family — a daily total-return USD equity index covering the global listed agriculture complex. Each constituent receives the same weight at quarterly rebalances.
Why equal-weight?
An equal-weighted construction tilts the index toward small- and mid-cap names and removes the dominance of the largest few constituents. Read against DAA-CAP, it isolates the size factor in listed ag returns.
How often is DAA-EQ rebalanced?
Constituents are reset to equal weights at each quarter-end. Between rebalances, weights drift with relative price performance.
