Index Description

The STOXX Health & Weight Loss indices are comprised of companies that stand to benefit from the immediate need of addressing the rising obesity levels in the global population. The obesity epidemic constitutes one of the most pressing health challenges with a major global economic impact. Therefore, the global focus on fighting obesity can be a driver of enhanced revenues for companies exposed to this theme. 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 "fighting globesity" trend. Furthermore, the index excludes companies that Sustainalytics considers to be non-compliant based on the Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment or to be involved with controversial weapons.
