EURO STOXX 50 Equal Weight

Index Description

The EURO STOXX 50 Equal Weight Index consists of the same stocks as the EURO STOXX® 50 Index. However, a different weighting scheme is applied by attributing the same weight to each component. All changes affecting the EURO STOXX 50 also apply to the EURO STOXX 50 Equal Weight. Any newly added component has the same weight as the deleted one.

Key facts

  • Index performance less dependent on the performance of individual members due to the reduced importance of single components
  • Stronger representation of smaller companies than in the parent index
