Methodology

The index universe comprises all stocks included in the STOXX Europe Total Market Index.
Companies within this universe that appear on the Nykredit exclusion list are excluded from the selection. The remaining companies define the Eligible universe.
From the Eligible universe, securities are screened based on the ICB Sector Classification – specifically Aerospace and Defense sector - and RBICS sectors with revenue exposure to the Defense theme.
The index is reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. Constituents are initially weighted according to free-float market capitalization, then adjusted to place greater emphasis on companies whose core business model is focused on defense activities.
