STOXX indexes — 19 Mar 2012

STOXX indices are divided into categories to provide market participants with optimal transparency and easy allocation for a rapidly growing product range. The categories are: STOXX Standard indices, iSTOXX, STOXX+ and Customized indices. The first category, the STOXX Standard indices, is a globally consistent family covering all markets and all common index types, such as total market indices and sector, size, style and blue-chip indices. Within this very comprehensive index family, the respective TMI equity universe is broken down logically from top down into sizes, sectors and themes. The rules for calculation, maintenance and selection are the same for all markets and regions without exceptions or hidden rules. This means that the indices can be combined without methodological inconsistencies. This results in a very clear, hierarchical index setup that is easy to understand and offers a broad variety of investable equity indices. 

Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes — 19 Mar 2012

The Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes are offered by Dow Jones Indexes in collaboration with SAM. Following a best-in-class approach, the indexes measure the performance of the world's sustainability leaders. Companies are selected for the indexes based on a comprehensive assessment of long-term economic, environmental and social criteria that account for general as well as industry-specific sustainability trends. Only firms that lead their industries based on this assessment are included in the indexes. The indexes are created and maintained according to a systematic methodology, allowing investors to appropriately benchmark sustainability-driven funds and derivatives over the long term. The family includes global and regional broad market indexes, subindexes excluding alcohol, gambling, tobacco, armaments and firearms and/or adult entertainment, and global and regional blue-chip indexes. Listed below are the most widely referenced Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes ℠ . For additional information on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes ℠ , including a full suite of index literature, please visit the official index web site at www.sustainability-index.com .
