7Ranking Index Constituents - Top 25

The table shows the top 25 positions in the iSTOXX R© Europe Minimum Variance Index NR as of 22-Oct-2018. The column WW indicates the weights in theiSTOXX R© Europe Minimum Variance Index NR as of 22-Oct-2018. The column Vol gives the annualized volatility computed over 125 business days ending on16-Oct-2018. We also provide the ranking of these volatilities (Rank Vol) relative to the Filtered Selection at the rebalancing date. The column Corr gives the averagecorrelation of each stock relative to the rest of the filtered selection, computed over 500 business days ending on 16-Oct-2018. We also provide the ranking of thesecorrelations (Rank Corr) relative to the Filtered Selection at the rebalancing date. The Rank Blend is computed as 66% Rank Vol + 34% Rank Corr. The lowerthe stock’s Rank Blend, the higher the likelihood that the stock will be overweighted in the Index. Finally, the column Core shows whether the stock was in theiSTOXX R© Europe Minimum Variance Index NR already (YES) or it entered at this rebalancing (NO).
