Index Description

The STOXX Global Smart Cities Index is comprised of companies that stand to benefit from the �smart cities� megatrend. A smart city uses innovative means to improve quality of life, urban operation and services, and competitiveness. At the same time, it strives to meet its present and future citizens� needs on an economic, social, environmental and cultural level. The companies in this index address a diverse set of requirements such as smart and enhanced buildings/homes, efficient mobility, optimum energy utilization and better administrative services. With growing urban population, limited natural resources and increasing focus on environmental sustainability, the companies are well positioned to benefit from this long-term trend. 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 smart cities trend. Furthermore, the index excludes companies identified as non-compliant based on Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment or to be involved with controversial weapons.

Key facts

  • Index allows targeted investment in the smart cities megatrend
  • Detailed Revere data helps select companies with a revenue exposure above 50% to smart cities related sectors

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The parent index is the STOXX Developed and Emerging Markets Total Market Index. The in-dex applies two screens. In a first step, only stocks with a 3-month median daily trading volume (MDTV) greater than EUR 1,000,000 are included. In a second step, only companies with revenue exposure of more than 50% to the sectors associated with the theme are selected. Companies that Sustainalytics deems to be in breach of the Sustainalytics Global Standards Screening assessment or to be involved with controversial weapons are excluded.


The index is weighted proportionally to the free-float market capitalization of the selected stocks multiplied by their aggregate revenue exposure to themes. Weights are capped according to the following constraints: the sum of all weights above 4.5% should not exceed 35%, and no single weight should exceed 8%.

The index composition is reviewed annually and rebalanced quarterly.
