Methodology

The parent index is the STOXX Global 1800 Index. Components that are engaged in controversial activities or are not Global Standards Screening (GSS) compliant, are excluded. Moreover, only companies that have not suffered a decrease in their ESG score, as calculated by Sustainalytics, in the last 12 months are considered eligible for selection. In addition, the eligible companies are ranked based on their current ESG score; the bottom 20% of companies are excluded. Remaining Constituents are sorted in descending order in terms of their dividend yield and the top 80 (highest dividend yield) stocks are selected. Here, the 20 companies with the lowest volatility are selected for inclusion in the index.

The index is weighted by the inverse of the selected stocks' volatility; component weight is capped at 10%.

The index composition is reviewed quarterly.

The detailed methodology including the calculation formula and the list of sectors can be found in our rulebooks: www.stoxx.com/rulebook
