Methodology

The EURO STOXX Quality Dividend 50 Index aims to select 50 high quality, high dividend-paying and low volatility stocks.

Starting from an index universe defined by the EURO STOXX Index, a number of less liquid stocks is filtered out. In the first step of the selection process, a quality score is assigned to the remaining stocks. This derives from 3 different quality factors: 12-month trailing dividend yield, 12-month trailing payout ratio and 3-year free cash flow yield growth rate. Each stock is given a standardized score (z-score) for each of the 3 metrics, and the final quality score assigned to them is the sum of the 12-month dividend yield z-score, the negative of the 12-month payout ratio z-score and the 3-year FCF / net income growth rate z-score. All stocks which do not belong to the top x% in terms of quality score, are excluded from the selection process (x being calculated as the square root of the number of eligible stocks divided by 50).
All remaining stocks are then ranked in ascending order in terms of volatility and the top 50 are selected.
