Index Description

The iSTOXX Global Demography Select 50 Index is derived from the STOXX Global 1800 Index, selecting stocks that will be impacted by demographic changes, as well as pay high dividends and display low volatility. The component selection process first excludes all stocks whose ICB sector is not linked to one of the eligible Industry groups. Among the eligible stocks, the stocks with the highest 3- and 12-month historical volatilities are excluded. Among the remaining stocks, the stocks with the highest 12-month historical dividend yields are selected to be included in the index. The percentage of exclusion/inclusion for the volatility screening and dividend yield screening is the same. Those constituents are weighted according to the inverse of their volatility, with a cap at 10%. The indices are reviewed quarterly.

Key facts

  • Selection from market-representative and liquid benchmarks
  • Innovative concept that focuses on seven industries that will be impacted by demographic changes
  • Balanced approach between the different screenings
  • Lower volatility stocks get the biggest weight
  • Suitable for Structured Products

Methodology

The index universe is all constituents in the STOXX Global 1800 Index. All companies linked to one of the following seven groups according to their ICB sector code are selected: Finance, Infrastructure, Leisure & Luxury, Pharmaceuticals, Resources, Real Estate and Telecom, Media & Tech. All constituents whose ICB sector is not relevant are excluded.


All stocks in the eligible universe are screened for 12-month historical daily pricing data and 12-month historical dividend yield. If one or both values are not available for a stock, the company is removed from the base universe.


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