Index Description

The STOXX ESG-X Select Dividend indices are derived from the STOXX ESG-X indices and select stocks which represent the highest-yielding stocks relative to their home markets in the respective benchmark index. The STOXX ESG-X Index Family applies standardized ESG exclusion screens for Global Standard Screening, Controversial Weapons, Thermal Coal and Tobacco Producers, with the aim of taking responsible investment criteria into account.

Key facts

  • The ESG-X Select Dividend indices are derived from the respective ESG-X Benchmark indices on which ESG screens are applied, based on responsible policies, aiming to reduce reputational and idiosyncratic risks.
  • Fixed component number and cap factors guarantee index diversification.
  • Liquidity screening ensures the index is suitable as an underlying for financial products.

Methodology

The index universe is the relevant STOXX ESG-X benchmark index. Only dividend-paying companies are eligible and must have a non-negative historical five-year dividend-per-share (DPS) growth rate and a defined DPS to EPS ratio. For the selection, eligible companies are sorted by an out-performance factor to their home market and ranked accordingly. A minimum liquidity level and a buffer rule are applied. Detailed index methodology, including information on the outperformance factor and the DPS to EPS ratio can be found in our rulebook: https://www.stoxx.com/rulebooks
