Methodology

The component universe is derived from the STOXX® China A 900 Index. Stocks must be traded on the Northbound Trading segments of the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs to be eligible for inclusion. From the eligible components, the index selects the top-ranked stocks based on a composite score based on four fundamentals ratios (return on equity, debt-to-asset, cash flow generation ability and business stability). Stocks also need to fulfill minimum liquidity criteria before being added to the index. The component selection is conducted semi-annually in June and December.
