Methodology

All securities from the EURO STOXX index are screened for their 12 month historical volatility and 12 month historical dividend yield. If one, or both, values are not available for a security, the security is removed from the base universe. All remaining securities are ranked according to their 12 month historical dividend yield in descending order. The top 75 stocks are selected with a maximum of 10 stocks per country. All eligible securities are then ranked according to their 12 month historical volatility in ascending order. From the selection list, the top 50 securities are selected to be included in the index. The constituents from the indices are weighted according to their 12 month historical dividend yield.
