Methodology

iSTOXX ADB Developed World Multi-Factor ESG is designed to deliver balanced, persistent active exposure to Value, Momentum, Quality, Size and Low Volatility, while keeping a Beta-neutral profile relative to the parent index (STOXX Developed World Universal Large Cap Index), subject to ESG exclusions and country selection.
The construction is grounded in a Multi-Factor multiplicative tilt framework that re-weights the parent free-float market-cap weights to achieve equal active exposure targets across the five style factors and a Beta-neutral profile relative to the parent index.
Tilt strengths are not equal across factors, they are solved numerically using Newton–Raphson, with industry and country bracketing to satisfy the exposure target equations.
