The STOXX Europe ESG Social Leaders Diversification Select 30 EUR Index captures the performance of European stocks with low correlation, low volatility and high dividends from the STOXX Global ESG Social Leaders Index.

The component selection process first excludes all stocks with the highest 12-month average correlation with all other stocks in the benchmark, then excludes stocks whose 3- or 12-month historical volatilities are the highest. Among the remaining stocks, the 30 stocks with the highest 12-month historical dividend yields are selected to be included in the index. The percentage of exclusion/inclusion at each step is the same.

Those constituents are weighted according to the inverse of their volatility, with a cap at 10%. The indices are reviewed quarterly.

The STOXX Global Climate Change Leaders Index is based on the CDP “A list” database, previously known as the Climate Performance Leadership list. This unique index concept includes carbon leaders who are publicly committed to reducing their carbon footprint. CDP’s “A List” was originally produced at the request of 767 investors who represent more than a third of the world’s invested capital. STOXX Climate Change Leaders Index is the first ever that tracks the CDP “A List” available to market participants, offering a fully transparent and tailored solution to address long-term climate risks, while participating in the sustainable growth of a low-carbon economy. The index is price weighted with a weight factor based on the free-float market cap multiplied by the corresponding Z-score carbon intensity factor of each constituent. Components with lower carbon intensities are overweighted, while those with higher carbon emission are underweighted. The indices also exlcude companies violating international norms, are involved with controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, civilian firearms, military equipment, and unconventional oil and gas.
