STRATEGY INDICES

STOXX USA Select 50 USD

Index Description

The STOXX Select family of indices captures the performance of stocks with low volatility and high dividends, derived from established STOXX benchmark indices. The component selection process first excludes all stocks whose previous 3- and 12-month historical volatilities are the highest. 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 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.

Key facts

  • Balanced approach between the different screenings
  • Lower volatility stocks get the biggest weight
  • Liquid benchmark

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

All stocks in the relevant base 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.
All remaining stocks are then ranked in ascending order in terms of volatility (maximum between the 3-month and 12-month historical volatility calculated in the currency of the Select index) and all stocks which do not belong to the top x% are excluded (x being calculated as the square root of the number of stocks in the base universe divided by the target number of stocks in the Select index).
All remaining stocks are then ranked in descending order in terms of 12-month historical dividend yield and the top x% are selected to be included in the Select index. Those constituents are weighted according to the inverse of their volatility, with a cap at 10%. The composition is reviewed quarterly.
