“The iSTOXX Developed Market B.R.AI.N. Index is part of the growing iSTOXX FactSet Thematic index family, which has seen strong investor demand for single-theme indices launched so far. They give investors access to the most important megatrends of our age. This particular thematic index selects stocks from four megatrends that are expected to change the world as we know it. Biotech, robotics, AI and nanotech have their popularity on the rise, and potential applications across many industries,” said Matteo Andreetto, CEO of STOXX Limited.

The iSTOXX Developed Markets B.R.AI.N.
