Direct Answer
The STOXX Europe 600 Equal Weight is a rule-based measurement of 600 European equities from the STOXX Europe 600 universe, each holding weighted equally, maintained by STOXX (Qontigo). Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of securities, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The STOXX Europe 600 Equal Weight covers 600 European equities from the STOXX Europe 600 universe, each holding weighted equally. STOXX (Qontigo) defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The methodology document, published by STOXX (Qontigo), sets the rules for inclusion and removal. Corporate actions, index reviews, and eligibility changes all move the constituent list on the timetable the provider specifies.
