==Holders==
Although the CAC 40 is almost exclusively composed of French-domiciled companies, about 45% of its listed shares are owned by foreign investors, more than any other main European index.<ref>{{cite web |last=Chirac |first=Jacques |author-link=Jacques Chirac |url=http://www.ambafrance-uk.org/European-Council-Press-conference.html |title=Press conference given by M.

This large percentage is due to the fact that CAC 40 companies are more international, or [[Multinational corporation|multinational]], than any other European market. CAC 40 companies conduct over two-thirds of their business and employ over two-thirds of their [[workforce]] outside France.<ref>{{cite web
