EURO iSTOXX Megatrends Select 30

Index Description

The EURO iSTOXX Megatrends Select 30 Index tracks companies that are exposed to a defined set of demographic and technological megatrends that are expected to change the world as we know it. Final index screens select stocks with the lowest volatilities and highest dividend yields. The index constituents are linked to one or more of the following themes: Infrastructure, Sharing Economy, Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, Housing Construction, Next Generation Telecoms, Millennials, Fintech, Silver Economy. These companies or components of their business lines are positioned to benefit from long-term structural trends as their products and services are necessary to cater the needs of the growing populations and the citizens of the future and are expected to play a key part in addressing the challenges of rapid urbanization and growth consumerism globally. Revere (RBICS) data allow a detailed breakdown of the revenue sources of the eligible companies, helping this index to select companies with substantial exposure to the respective themes. The index excludes companies that Sustainalytics considers to be non-compliant with the Global Standards Screening and/or involved in controversial weapons. The final composition list is made up of the 30 companies from the pre-selected universe that have the lowest volatilities and highest dividend yields, observing caps in the representation of ICB sectors and countries to ensure diversification.

Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The index universe is the EURO STOXX Total Market index. Companies with revenue exposure above 25% to the sectors associated to 9 distinct megatrends (Infrastructure, Sharing Economy, Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, Housing Construction, Next Generation Telecoms, Millennials, Fintech, Silver Economy) are selected. Additional filters are applied to ensure companies engaged in controversial weapons, or non-compliant with the UN Global Compact Principles, are excluded. The eligible companies are ranked based on their volatility; the top 60 companies with the lowest volatility proceed to the next step. All remaining companies are ranked based on their dividend yield; the 30 companies with the highest yields are selected such that country and industry diversification constraints are met.

The index is weighted by the inverse of the selected stocks' volatility, capped at 10% and reviewed quarterly.
