Index Description

The STOXX Risk Control Indices are designed to control the risk of an investment in the underlying index. The targeted risk is measured by the index's volatility. The STOXX Risk Control Indices cover different target volatilities, e.g. 10%, 12%, 15% or 20%. The respective target volatility is indicated in the index name. In volatile markets, the asset allocation is shifted more heavily towards a specific for the region risk-free money market investment. In less volatile markets, the index concept allows for a leveraged investment in the relevant underlying index. The exposure to the underlying index can be adjusted from 0% to 150% (100% for the STOXX Europe Large 200 Risk Control Index). The Risk Control RV Indices (RV = realized volatility) apply the historical volatility of the index. All other indices are based on implied volatility using the estimated volatility of a stock's price.

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The index portfolio consists of an underlying index (e.g. blue-chip net return index) and an overnight money market investment. The rebalancing is done if the volatility changes by more than 5% since the last rebalancing to avoid high allocation turnover due to minimal deviations from the targeted risk level. In addition, a maximum exposure of 150% (resp. 100% for the STOXX Europe Large 200 Risk Control Index) toward the risky asset is introduced to avoid extreme leveraged positions.
