Index Details
WisdomTree Europe GBP-Hedged Equity UCITS Index
The index is rules-based, fundamentally weighted and is comprised of the dividend-paying companies from the Eurozone region, selected based on global revenue exposure and risk-filtered using a composite risk score (“CRS”) screening which is made up of two factors (quality and momentum) each carrying an equal weighting. By selecting companies that derive 50% or more of their revenue from countries outside of Europe, the index is tilted towards companies with a more significant global revenue base. The share class seeks to deliver exposure to the index while at the same time neutralising exposure to fluctuations of the Euro, relative to the Sterling by implementing a hedging methodology used in the hedged index. The index excludes companies which do not meet WisdomTree’s ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria.
To be included in the index, companies must meet certain risk management criteria, as well as minimum liquidity requirements, WisdomTree’s ESG screen and have paid dividends over the prior annual cycle.
The index on rebalancing date is comprised of the companies which derive 50% or more of their revenue from countries outside of Europe and which have met CRS and ESG criteria. The component companies are then weighted annually in the index based on dividends paid over the prior annual cycle. Companies which pay more dividends are more heavily weighted and as well as the companies in the top 20% by CRS.
