STRATEGY INDICES

STOXX Europe ESG Social Leaders Diversification Select 30 EUR

Index Description

The STOXX Diversification Select family of indices captures the performance of stocks with low correlation, low volatility and high dividends, derived from established STOXX benchmark indices. The component selection process first excludes all stocks with the highest 12-months average correlation with all other stocks of the benchmark, then excludes stocks whose previous 3- and 12-month historical volatilities are the highest. Among the remaining stocks, the stocks with the highest 12-month historical dividend yield are selected to be included in the index. The percentage of exclusion/inclusion at each step is the same. Those constituents are weighted according to the inverse of their volatility, with a cap at 10%. The indices are reviewed quarterly.

Key facts

  • Diversification brought by excluding highly correlated stocks
  • Balanced approach between the different screenings
  • Lower volatility stocks get the highest weight
  • Liquid benchmarks

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

All stocks in the relevant base universe are screened for 12-month historical daily pricing data and 12-month historical dividend yield. If one or both values are not available for a stock, the company is removed from the base universe.

For all remaining stocks, a correlation number is calculated as the average of the 12-month correlation of daily logarithmic returns in the currency of the Diversification Select index with all other stocks in the base universe. Those stocks are then ranked according to this number in ascending order and the bottom 1-x% is excluded (x% being calculated as the cubic root of the number of stocks in the base universe divided by the target number of stocks in the Diversification Select index).

The detailed methodology including the calculation formula can be found in our rulebook: www.stoxx.com/rulebooks.
