EUDG

EUDG screens 300 developed Europe stocks, based on combined ranking of growth and quality factors. Index selection starts with EUDG's parent index — WisdomTree International Equity Index. Growth factor ranking uses long-term earnings growth expectations, while the quality factor ranking is based on three year historical averages for ROE and ROA. Index weighting is based on the total regular cash dividends paid by all the companies in the Index over the prior annual cycle, heavily weighting those paying more. Issuers are capped at 5% and the maximum weight of any one sector or country is capped at 20% and 25%, respectively. The index is reconstituted annually. Prior to August 31, 2015, the WisdomTree Europe Quality Dividend Growth Index was named the WisdomTree Europe Dividend Growth Index.
