Methodology

The parent universe consists of companies from a combination of STOXX Country Total Market indices: France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, United Kingdom, United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China (ADRs, P chips, Red Chips, H Shares and A Shares that are accessible through Stock Connect).


Only companies with revenue exposure of more than 30% to the sectors associated with the theme are selected. FactSet Revere (RBICS) data allow a detailed breakdown of the revenue sources of the eligible companies, helping this index to select companies with substantial exposure to the theme.


Illiquid stocks are excluded, alongside companies with negative ROE and/or EPS in the last year. Companies with the lowest investments in R&D are then also excluded. Finally, the 100 remaining companies with the highest free-float market capitalization are selected for inclusion in the index. The index is weighted proportionally to the free-float market capitalization of the selected stocks with caps.
