STOXX^® USA 900 ESG-X Ax Momentum

The iSTOXX APG Emerging Markets Responsible Indices are a series of indices designed to track and quantify the impact of different ESG, Carbon and SDI constraints and tilts on a broad emerging global market cap index. The weighting of each constituent security is determined through an optimization process that is designed to minimize tracking error to the benchmark while improving the ESG, Carbon and SDI exposures.

STOXX Hedged Indices measure the performance of an underlying index while at the same time eliminating foreign currency fluctuations by hedging the local currency risk of the underlying constituents. The indices combine the performance of the underlying STOXX index with a hypothetical rolling investment in one-month foreign-exchange forward contracts with monthly adjustment of invested notional and currency exposures.

The EURO STOXX 50 ESG Index reflects the EURO STOXX 50 Index with standardized ESG exclusion screens applied for Global Standards Screening, Controversial Weapons, Small Arms, Military Contracting, Thermal Coal, Unconventional Oil & Gas, ESG Controversies, ESG Risk, and Tobacco. Furthermore, companies with the lowest ESG scores are excluded until a total of 20% (based on number of holdings) of the initial EURO STOXX 50 components are excluded. Each exclusion is replaced by a EURO STOXX company with a higher ESG score from the same ICB Supersector as the excluded company.

The index is free float market capitalization weighted with cap factors imposed on the index components such that the index achieves an overall ESG score that exceeds that of the EURO STOXX 50 Index excluding its worst 20% ESG scorers.
