Index Description

The STOXX Diversification Select family of indices captures the performance of stocks with low correlation, low volatility and high dividends, derived from established STOXX benchmark indices. The component selection process first excludes all stocks with the highest 12-months average correlation with all other stocks of the benchmark, then excludes stocks whose previous 3- and 12-month historical volatilities are the highest. The STOXX Europe Diversification Select 50 Risk Control 10% RV index is designed to control the risk profile of the underlying STOXX Europe Diversification Select 50 index. The risk control index reflects a volatility strategy that targets a predefined volatility level of 10%. The index shifts between a risk-free money market investment (measured by the applicable overnight rate) and a risky portfolio (measured by the underlying STOXX index). The allocations for the risk control Index is determined on the basis of the historical volatility of the underlying index (with a maximum leverage factor of 150%).

Key facts

  • Provides steady returns with a much lower level of volatility than the underlying index.
  • Based on very liquid instruments: money market and underlying index
  • Offers full participation in less risky, booming equity markets while at the same time protecting investors when markets become turbulent.
  • Improved risk-return profiles for bull and bear markets
  • Reacts immediately to changes in the prevailing market environment due to daily observation of volatility trigger levels.

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The index portfolio consists of an underlying index (STOXX Europe Diversification Select 50 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% toward the risky asset is introduced to avoid extreme leveraged positions. The detailed methodology, including the calculation formula, can be found in our rulebook: www.stoxx.com/rulebook
