iSTOXX USA Quality Factor

Index Description

The iSTOXX® USA Single & Multi-factor indices offer investors a straightforward and intuitive tool to extract factor risk premia on equities while controlling risks and keeping focus on tradability. The selection and weighting are based on the SunGard APT Risk model, which uses a set of constraints to minimize risk and maximize factor exposure. These indices differ from each other by the factor premium they are exploiting. The index family contains indices based on the following single factors: carry, low risk, momentum, quality, size and value. An additional multi-factor index gathers stocks with a high overall tilt to all single factors.

Key facts

  • Range of six different single-factor indices
  • Multi-factor approach to gather highest exposure from each dimension
  • Selection and weighting based on optimizer
  • Monthly rebalancing to be more reactive to the market
  • Set of constraints to minimize risk and maximize factor exposure
