Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The component universe is derived from the STOXX® Global 1800 Index. Within this universe, we focus on the 200 largest companies from three regions: North America, Asia/Pacific and Europe. The largest components for each region are derived from their respective STOXX benchmark index, e.g. the STOXX® Europe 600 Index which serves as the basis for the STOXX® Europe Large 200 Index. The iSTOXX Börsen-Zeitung Global 600 Index represents an aggregation of the three resulting regional “Large 200” indices. The component selection is conducted quarterly in March, June, September, and December.
