December 3, 2018 - STOXX Ltd. announced a change in the composition of the STOXX Europe 50 Index.

October 31, 2018 - STOXX Ltd. will discontinue to calculate and disseminate Euro iStoxx 50 Collar Hedged as of Oct.31, 2018 without replacement.

STOXX has licensed the iSTOXX Europe ESG Climate Awareness Select 50 Index to Morgan Stanley for the issuance of structured products.

STOXX has licensed the EURO iSTOXX 50 ESG Focus Index and the EURO iSTOXX 50 ESG Focus GR Decrement 5% Index to the British bank Barclays as underlyings for the issuance of structured products.

STOXX Ltd., part of the ISS STOXX GmbH group of companies and a leading provider of benchmark and custom index solutions to global institutional investors, has licensed the STOXX Global Silver Mining index to Themes ETFs for its Nasdaq-listed Silver Miners ETF (AGMI).

The global benchmark dropped 3.7% last month, paring its 2024 gain to 4.9%. Inflation data in the US was reported higher than expected, raising concerns the Federal Reserve may move slowly before cutting interest rates.

STOXX’s European benchmarks offer transparent and liquid exposure to the region, and are at the center of a wide ecosystem of derived investment strategies and products. Those characteristics have made the indices the top choice for issuers of investable products.

They have strong profitability, low volatility and have been quietly leading gains in the European equity market. The GRANOLAS – a group of 11 large, international companies – may have the right attributes for the current macro environment, argues Goldman Sachs.

The global benchmark jumped 3.2% last month for a quarterly gain of 9%. All regional indices rose as reports suggested the global economy has avoided a hard landing. Momentum is the best-performing factor for a second straight month.

STOXX Ltd., part of the ISS STOXX GmbH group of companies and a leading provider of benchmark and custom index solutions to global institutional investors, has licensed the STOXX Digital Asset Blue Chip Index to Valour Inc. The index, which marks STOXX’s entry into the digital asset space, will serve as an underlying for an exchange traded product (ETP) listed on Xetra, a leading trading venue for ETFs & ETPs in Europe. The index was developed in partnership with crypto-financial services provider Bitcoin Suisse.

The global benchmark jumped 4.3% last month after government and company reports signaled the world’s largest economy continues to steam ahead even amid high interest rates. Nvidia, Amazon and Meta were among companies whose earnings beat analysts’ forecasts.

Results of the first regular quarterly review 2024 of benchmark indices will be effective March 18, 2024.
