Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The index universe is defined by all companies in the STOXX Europe 600 that are at least 100 years old.


In a first step, a liquidity filter is applied to the universe: Only companies with a three-month average daily trading volume (ADTV) greater than EUR 15 mn are selected. In a second step, all remaining companies whose six-month beta to the EURO STOXX 50 is above 1.5 or country of domicile represents 0.5% or less of the STOXX Europe 600 are excluded from the universe of selection.


All remaining companies are ranked in descending order by their six-month beta to the EURO STOXX 50. Among all companies that will pay a dividend within the next month, the top 20 are selected (or all of them if there are less than 20). The index composition is completed with the top constituents that are not expected to pay a dividend in the next month (with a maximum of seven constituents per industry).


All constituents are weighted according to their three-month ADTV, with a cap at 10%.
