The

History
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is considered the oldest in the world. It was established in
1602 by the
Dutch East India Company (
Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or "VOC") for dealings in its printed
stocks and
bonds. It was subsequently renamed the Amsterdam
Bourse and was the first to formally begin trading in
securities.
The
European Option Exchange (EOE) was founded in 1978 in Amsterdam as a futures and options exchange. In 1983 it started a
stock market index, called the
EOE index, consisting of the 25 largest companies that trade on the stock exchange. In 1997 the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the EOE merged, and its blue chip index was renamed
AEX, for "Amsterdam EXchange". It is now managed by Euronext Amsterdam.
The former Stock Exchange building was the
Beurs van Berlage.
