Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom made the biggest positive contributions in Q2, but gains in every country except Portugal helped push the pan-regional benchmark higher.
Health Care led the way up among sectors, while Dividend Aristocrats® took the top spot among European factor indices this quarter. Utilities was a notable laggard.
