BLUE CHIP INDICES

STOXX Europe 50

Index Description

The regional blue-chip indices are derived from regional subsets of the STOXX Global 1800 Index. The indices cover the largest supersector leaders of their region in terms of free-float market cap.

Key facts

  • Diversified, as they incorporate a capping factor to ensure that no country/component can dominate the index
  • Buffers are used to achieve the fixed number of components and to maintain stability of the indices by reducing index composition changes
  • A fast-exit rule ensures the index accurately represents the performance of only the biggest and most liquid stocks
