Management

Our team has a strong focus on innovation and developed the iSTOXX Europe- and iSTOXX USA factor indices, paving the way for the first European factor futures at EUREX as well as the first market neutral factor ETF globally by AMUNDI. In various publications we analyzed risk premia, equity factor premia and our own research results.
