Methodology

Companies that have an average six-month daily traded volume (ADTV) above a 1 million euros (the threshold is 5 million euros for the Global version) and are among the top 20% of dividend payers are eligible for inclusion in the indices. Those 50 companies with the highest one-year Sharpe ratios are included in the indices (100 for the Global version).

Each regional index – Europe, North America, Asia/Pacific – has 50 components. The Global version has 100. Index components are weighted according to the inverse of their one-year volatility. The indices are reviewed quarterly and components are subject to a 10% cap. The indices are calculated in price, net and gross return versions in euro and US dollars.

All indices use STOXX GC Pooling EUR 12 Months as the risk-free rate. The STOXX GC Pooling index family is based on the Eurex Repo GC Pooling Market and offers a transparent, rules-based, independent alternative to unsecured interbank benchmarks such as LIBOR and EURIBOR/EONIA/€STR.
