Four new iShares equity index ETFs were launched on Xetra on Tuesday 20th January.

All four iShares ETFs track the performance of stock companies included in the MSCI Europe Index. Selection and weighting of the stocks differ depending on the selected strategy approach according to the company size, value, momentum and earnings quality.

A quality-based strategy is used for the iShares MSCI Europe Quality Factor UCITS ETF. Stock corporations are selected within individual sectors based on three factors reflecting the companies` earnings quality: dividend yields, low debt ratio and stable earnings power. The reference index currently contains 124 companies from 15 industrialised nations.
