STOXX updates fast entry rules
September 26, 2013--STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced changes to its fast entry rules in order to better respond to extraordinary market events in a timely and appropriate manner.
Changes being announced today are effective immediately and are the result of a review of the methodology and meeting of the STOXX Advisory Board.
Under the updated fast entry rule, all eligible stocks must have a rank on the latest selection list which lies within the top 50 percent of the number of the respective index's constituents. For example, stocks must rank between 1 to 25 for indices with 50 constituents, and between 1 and 15 for indices with 30 constituents, to be added to the respective index. This makes the fast entry rule symmetric to the fast exit rule which typically sets the threshold at rank 75 for an index with 50 constituents. Previously, stocks on the selection lists were required to have a rank of 1 to 40 to be eligible for inclusion.
