STOXX Japan 600 Equal Weight

Index Description

The STOXX Japan 600 Equal Weight Index measures the performance of the same stocks as the standard free-float market cap weighted indices but uses a different weighting scheme by attributing to each component the same weight. The index has a fixed number of components and is part of the STOXX blue-chip index family.

Key facts

  • The reduced importance of single components makes the index performance less dependent on the performance of individual members.
  • Smaller companies are more strongly represented in the STOXX Japan 600 Equal Weight Index than in the parent index.

Methodology

The index components exactly match the parent index members, e.g. the STOXX Japan 600 Equal Weight Index consists of the same stocks as the STOXX Japan 600 Index. The same weight is attributed to all components each quarter, regardless of their free-float market capitalization. Extraordinary replacements are added at the same weight as the deleted stock. The detailed methodology including the calculation formula can be found in our rulebook: http://www.stoxx.com/indices/rulebooks.html
