The iSTOXX® USA Factors indices are based on the STOXX® USA 900 and aim to extract factor risk premia on equities while controlling risks and keeping focus on tradability. The selection and weighting are based on SunGard APT Risk model which uses a set of constrains to minimize risk and maximize factor exposure. All indices are monthly rebalanced in order to be more reactive to the market.
