More choice for investors
Eurex expands its equity index segment with additional factor index futures. The futures cover factors in European and U.S. markets, represented by the STOXX® Europe 600 and the STOXX® USA 500 universes. All indexes are built using Axioma's proven factor model maintaining the same industry allocation as the respective benchmark.
Factor-based investing has become one of the most popular indexing segments in recent years. This investment approach targets specific drivers of return, setting it apart from traditional beta.
European and U.S. equity markets
The underlying indexes are derived from two well established, regional and market-capitalized benchmarks, tracking six different factor styles: Value, Momentum, Low Risk, Quality, Size- and a Multi-Factor index that targets exposure to all five single factors. Compared to trading the underlying or using OTC for tactical management, listed futures offer an easy, transparent and cost-efficient way of adjusting positions.
