Performance and annual returns

Methodology

The parent index is the STOXX Global 1800. Companies engaged in controversial activities, or non-compliant with the Global Standards Screening, as well as companies which have no sustainable waste management policies implemented within their business model (as assessed by Sustainalytics) are excluded.

Eligible companies are ranked based on their historical dividend yield; those which do not belong to the top x% within their industry are excluded (x being the square root of the number of eligible stocks divided by the target number of stocks, i.e. 30). All remaining stocks are ranked in de-scending order in terms of volatility (based on their 3- or 12-month historical volatility in EUR, whichever is higher). The top x% (30 stocks) are then selected for inclusion, provided the final composition includes no more than 5 companies from the same industry, and country exposure not exceeding that of the STOXX Global 1800 index's corresponding country weight by more than 10%. The constituents are weighted by the inverse of their volatility with a cap at 10%.
