FACTOR & STRATEGY INDICES

STOXX Global 1800 ex USA Ax Momentum

Index Description

STOXX single and multi-factor indices aim to harvest the risk premia of several academically validated style factors - Value, Momentum, Quality, Size and Low Risk. At the same time the rules ensure tradability and diversification as well as limit untargeted systematic exposures. STOXX uses Axioma's risk model and optimizer to construct the factor indices. The STOXX single and multi-factor indices are based on the respective STOXX country or regional benchmark indices.

Key facts

  • Invest in targeted factor exposures with managed liquidity and risk profiles across various regions
  • Use of Axioma's factor risk models and portfolio construction expertise to define the factors based on extensive validation from research and having a clear economic rationale
  • Factor family consists of 5 single factor indices (Value, Momentum, Quality, Low Risk, and Size) and one multi-factor index
  • Same index construction rules applied across the factor family
  • Single factor indices maximize the target factor while constraining the exposure to other factors
  • Multi-factor index employs a bottom-up approach by maximizing the exposure to an equally weighted aggregated multi-factor score
  • Ensures tradability by managing turnover and exposure to illiquid positions
  • Ensures diversification using country and industry controls

Methodology

Bringing together the powerful indexing and analytics capabilities of Qontigo, the STOXX Factor Index suite delivers more clarity to the market for factor investors by relying on the institutionally tested analytics of Axioma Factor Risk Models and advanced portfolio construction techniques. The use of Axioma's risk models ensures strong exposure to the respective target factor (Value, Momentum, Quality, Low Risk, Size, Multi-Factor) while allowing for ease of control over unintended exposures. The inclusion of constraints targets benchmark tracking with industry and country controls, and ensures tradability by limiting exposure to less liquid names and turnover while controlling for effective number of names and weights.
