iSTOXX Europe Economic Growth Select 50

Index Description

The iSTOXX Europe Economic Growth Select 50 Index aims at investing in liquid, low volatility and high dividend stocks from the STOXX Europe 600 Index.

This way, companies with the highest exposure to countries with the highest estimated Economic growth, receive the biggest weight.

Key facts

  • Liquid universe
  • Balanced approach between the volatility and dividend screenings
  • Innovative weighting scheme whereby companies with the highest exposure to countries with the highest estimated Economic growth receive the largest weight

Methodology

The index universe is defined by all stocks from the STOXX Europe 600 Index. Stocks considered for selection must have a 3-month ADTV exceeding 3 million EUR, and suspension from trading for not more than 10% of the total trading days.
All eligible stocks are sorted in ascending order in terms of volatility (maximum between the 3-month and 12-month historical volatility) and those that do not belong to the top x% are excluded from the selection process (x being calculated as the square root of 50 divided by the number of eligible stocks).
All selected stocks are ranked in descending order in terms of 12-month historical dividend yield and the highest ranked 50 stocks are selected for the final index, and weighted according to their normalized GDP score. This is calculated by summing the products of the percentage of revenues the company is generating in every different country it operates times the projected (according to the IMF) GDP growth for that country in the next year.
