Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The index universe is the STOXX Global 1800 Index excluding companies non-compliant based on Sustanalitics Global Standards Screening Assessment or involved in Controversial Weapons, Tobacco or Coal. Only companies with a 3-month average daily trading volume (ADTV) of more than EUR 5 million are considered. Half the stocks from that universe that have the lowest Diversity Impact score (defined as the average of the S.1.2 Discrimination Policy Raw Score and S.1.3 Diversity Programmes Raw Score Social indicators from Sustainalytics) are excluded. Afterwards, the 300 companies with the lowest previous 3- and 12-month historical volatilities are selected. Finally, among the remaining stocks, the top 30 with the highest 12-month historical dividend yields are included in the index, in such a way that diversification across industries and countries is ensured. The constituents are weighted according to the inverse of their volatility with a cap at 10% per component. The indices are reviewed quarterly. The detailed methodology including the calculation formula can be found in our rulebooks: www.stoxx.com/rulebooks
