Introduction

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, iSTOXX and Customized indices.

The STOXX index range represents a standard set of basic and innovative indices with a consistent and globally applicable methodology.

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.
