BENCHMARK INDICES

STOXX True Exposure Australia 50%

Index Description

Traditional equity indices bundle companies based on their country of domicile and primary listing, regardless of where the selected companies generate their revenue. Without this consideration, indices covering different countries or regions may have substantial revenue overlaps among each other. In a portfolio context, revenue overlaps among portfolio constituents increase correlations between indices. STOXX True Exposure™(STOXX TRU™) Indices take into account the revenue exposure of each company to single countries in the selection process and focus on companies that generate all or a significant portion of their revenue in targeted countries or regions. This provides a more focused representation of the targeted market. The derived decrease in revenue overlaps leads to a decrease in correlations among STOXX TRU™ Indices. Viewed in a portfolio context, a combination of STOXX TRU™ Indices is therefore found to increase portfolio efficiency: they offer more return per unit of risk taken compared to the use of traditional equity indices. The initial offering is composed of five country indices (Australia, Canada, Japan, UK and USA), four regional indices (Eurozone, Europe, Asia/Pacific and North America) as well as four global indices (Developed Markets, Developed Markets ex Europe, Developed Markets ex USA and Emerging Markets).

Key facts

  • The STOXX TRU™ Index universe is based on well-known benchmark indices such as the STOXX® Europe 600 or the EURO STOXX®
  • For companies that do not disclose revenue breakdown on a country level, STOXX applies a unique export-based methodology to estimate revenue exposures
  • Our unique estimator takes into account industry-specific, country-to-country export data

Methodology

Index components are selected according to their country of incorporation as well as their revenue exposure to respective countries or regions.

Indices are available with exposures ranging from 25% to 100%, to cater to the different needs of the investors and strike the desired balance between exposure to the target region, market-cap coverage of industry and country allocations.

Components are weighted according to the product of the derived exposure factor and free-float market cap. To facilitate tradability, minimum liquidity requirements on component level have been introduced.

The STOXX estimator uses publicly available data as reported by the UN and the World Bank.

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