STRATEGY INDICES

STOXX Emerging Markets 800 LO Minimum Variance

Index Description

The STOXX Minimum Variance Indices seek to represent the performance characteristics of a minimum variance strategy applied to a variety of STOXX regional and country benchmark indices. The index composition is determined by minimizing the total portfolio risk subject to a set of constraints. For most Minimum Variance Indices, STOXX offers two versions: a constrained version that limits deviations from the benchmark by imposing constraints on style and industry exposures, and an unconstrained version that allows larger deviations from the benchmark for a more optimal portfolio. The STOXX Minimum Variance Indices are designed in cooperation with Axioma, a leading provider of risk management solutions. The indices are available for different regions and countries worldwide.

Key facts

  • Provides lower volatility compared to its benchmark.
  • Turnover, liquidity and component constraints ensure tradability.
  • Capping constraints avoid concentration risk and ensure UCITS compliance.
  • Unconstrained version has more freedom to reduce risk in resulting portfolio.
  • Suitable for core allocation in a portfolio.
