Based on the SD-KPInform® database, STOXX^® and SD-M^® collaboratively developed the EURO iSTOXX® 50 SD-KPI Index (Factsheet; Indexguide), which was launched on 25.09.2013.

The EURO iSTOXX^® 50 SD-KPI covers all 50 components of the EURO STOXX 50^®. By slightly overweighting or underweighting the components (i.e. -10%, -5%, 0%, 5%, 10%) on the basis of their SD-KPIntegration Scores, the tracking error against the parent indices remains low. This allows for hedging through liquid EURO STOXX 50^® futures and options at the leading derivatives exchange Eurex (operated by Deutsche Boerse). 

The publication SD-KPIndex®: How to integrate material ESG indicators into mainstream indices and benchmarks defines the SD-KPIndex^® methodology, which is copyrighted by SD-M^®.
