Deutsche Boerse : iSTOXX Developed Markets B.R.AI.N. Index licensed to Coincapital

ZURICH (July 31, 2018) - STOXX Ltd., the operator of Deutsche Boerse Group's index business and a global provider of innovative and tradable index concepts, has licensed the iSTOXX Developed Markets B.R.AI.N. Index to the Canadian Coin Capital Investment Management Inc (Coincapital). The index uses FactSet Revere data to identify sectors likely to benefit from increased prevalence of four different themes: biotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and nanotechnology.

'Tracking emerging technologies requires specialized expertise, and Coincapital is excited to work with STOXX on this index. The B.R.AI.N. Index is a great step towards offering investors easy access to the immense growth potential of emerging technologies like biotech, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology,' said Lewis Batemen, CEO of Coin Capital Investment Management Inc.

'The iSTOXX Developed Market B.R.AI.N. Index is part of the growing iSTOXX FactSet Thematic index family, which has seen strong investor demand for single-theme indices launched so far. They give investors access to the most important megatrends of our age. This particular thematic index selects stocks from four megatrends that are expected to change the world as we know it. Biotech, robotics, AI and nanotech have their popularity on the rise, and potential applications across many industries,' said Matteo Andreetto, CEO of STOXX Limited.

The iSTOXX Developed Markets B.R.AI.N. Index is made up of companies that generate more than 50 % of their revenue from biotechnology (B), robotics (R), artificial intelligence (AI), or nanotechnology (N). Following an initial liquidity filter, all stocks in the STOXX Developed Markets Total Market Index are screened through FactSet Revere's granular business segment analysis to assess their exposure to each megatrend tracked by the B.R.AI.N Index. The index selects the top companies in terms of revenue exposure from each theme and combines them in the same basket.

About STOXX Limited

STOXX Ltd. is a global index provider, currently calculating a global, comprehensive index family of over 7,500 strictly rules-based and transparent indices. Best known for the leading European equity indices EURO STOXX 50, STOXX Europe 50 and STOXX Europe 600, STOXX Ltd. maintains and calculates the STOXX Global index family which consists of total market, broad and blue-chip indices for the regions Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific and sub-regions Latin America and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as well as global markets.

To provide market participants with optimal transparency, STOXX indices are classified into four categories. Regular 'STOXX' indices include all standard, theme and strategy indices that are part of STOXX's integrated index family and follow a strict rules-based methodology. The 'iSTOXX' brand typically comprises less standardized index concepts that are not integrated in the STOXX Global index family, but are nevertheless strictly rules-based. While indices that are branded 'STOXX' and 'iSTOXX' are developed by STOXX for a broad range of market participants, the 'STOXX Customized' brand covers indices that are specifically developed for clients and do not carry the STOXX brand in the index name. Under the Omnient brand, STOXX offers custom indices from its existing index universe.

STOXX indices are licensed to more than 600 companies around the world as underlyings for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), futures and options, structured products and passively managed investment funds. Three of the top ETFs in Europe and approximately 25% of all assets under management are based on STOXX indices. STOXX Ltd. holds Europe's number one and the world's number two position in the derivatives segment.

STOXX is part of Deutsche Boerse Group, and also calculates, disseminates and markets the DAX indices. www.stoxx.com
