STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced that the company has been named “Most Innovative Index Provider” in the second www.StructuredRetailProducts.com European Awards. Award winners were chosen based on votes cast by nearly 1.000 members of Europe’s structured products community.
“Winning the award for Most Innovative Index Provider is a great honor, especially since votes were solely cast by members of the structured products industry,” said Hartmut Graf, chief executive officer, STOXX Limited. “It also acknowledges our dedication to deliver state of the art index concepts. Recent additions to our index family include the STOXX+ Global Max Traded 200 Index, which provides a highly diversified representation of the 200 largest and most frequently traded stocks globally; as well as the STOXX+ Minimum Variance Indices which are available in constrained and unconstrained versions, the latter being a novelty as it provides strategy indices that are minimized for volatility, but not restricted to follow an underlying base index too closely.”
As of second half of 2012, there are about 257,200 structured products and 288 ETFs linked to the STOXX, DAX and SMI indices. As of July 2010, STOXX is the marketing agent for the indices of Deutsche Boerse AG and SIX.
