Index Description

The STOXX Global Thematic indices are comprised of companies from selected markets exposed to a defined set of themes: Ageing Population, Automation & Robotics, Digitalisation, Breakthrough Healthcare. These companies operate in business areas that actively participate in social, economic and environmental changes and drive long-term structural trends. To be eligible, companies must derive 50% or more of their revenues from businesses that fall under respective themes. FactSet Revere data is used for a granular breakdown of the revenue sources of the companies in the screening process. This in turn allows enhanced precision in the thematic investment approach and in the selection of companies with substantial exposure to the targeted themes. STOXX Global Thematic indices are also taking ESG considerations into account. Companies that are non-compliant with the Global Standards Screening (GSS), involved in Controversial Weapons activities, or display a Severe (Category 5) Controversy Rating, as identified by Sustainalytics, are excluded. Additional exclusion filters are incorporated, screening companies for involvement in Weapons (Small Arms and Military Contracting), Unconventional Oil & Gas (Arctic Oil and Gas Exploration, Oil Sands and Shale Energy), Conventional Oil & Gas, Thermal Coal, Nuclear Power and Tobacco.

Methodology

The parent index of the STOXX Global Digitalisation Index is the STOXX Global Total Market Index. Companies, classified as belonging to a defined set of developed and emerging countries, that derive more than 50% of their most recent total annual revenue from sectors linked to the digitalization trend are highlighted as potential index components. The index excludes companies that are not compliant with the Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment or are involved in Controversial Weapons and other controversial activities. Moreover, companies that display high ESG Controversy Ratings are also excluded.

The index applies liquidity and size screens and aims to have a minimum number of 80 components. It is adjusted equal-weighted and reviewed annually in June.
