FTSE RAFI® Low Volatility Index Series

FTSE partners with Research Affiliates® on the innovative FTSE RAFI® Index Series. Index constituents are weighted using a composite of fundamental factors, including total cash dividends, free cash flow, total sales and book equity value. Prices and market values are not determinants of the index weights. Consequently the indices are less prone to excessive concentration arising from market fads, which can result in over-exposure to individual companies, sectors or countries.

The FTSE RAFI™ Low Volatility Index Series represents a complementary offering to the existing FTSE RAFI™ Index Series by applying the FTSE RAFI™ index methodology to a universe of low volatility securities. Global, Developed, Emerging and single country indices are available.
