The FTSE Custom Eurozone Social Optimised 100 Index is a customised index launched in 2025, in collaboration with Arkea. It is designed to reflect the performance of a basket of approximately 100 stocks from the FTSE Eurozone universe. The index uses specific ESG data inputs and applies a rules-based methodology to select constituents before reweighting the portfolio to incorporate ESG and social considerations while minimising industry, country and size biases from the market capitalisation-weighted benchmark.
An iterative filtering process is embedded into the index construction to select 100 constituents that meet specific liquidity and ESG criteria, followed by an optimisation process to balance ESG characteristics with traditional portfolio construction considerations
The index removes companies involved in specific products and conduct-related activities, such as controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, oil and gas and controversies related to the UN Global Compact Principles. Details on the specific activities that are excluded in the index can be found in the ground rules.
