Summary
The STOXX® Minimum Variance Indices seek to minimize risk by reducing the volatility in a portfolio. STOXX offers two versions of STOXX® Minimum Variance Indices: constrained and unconstrained. The constrained, or regular, version optimizes the benchmark index with respect to volatility, offering investors an improvement over the benchmark. During the optimization, we enforced restrictions with the aim of staying close to the underlying index. The unconstrained version provides a strategy which gives the index the freedom to truly reflect minimum variance rather than following a specific benchmark too closely.
The STOXX® Minimum Variance indices are designed in cooperation with Axioma, combining Axioma´s factor model know-how with the STOXX`s index creation and calculation expertise. The STOXX® Minimum Variance Indices are available for different regions and countries worldwide.
Index Guides, Benchmark statement, and other reports are available under the Data tab.
