Objective
The WOWAX indices are two benchmarks of the world watersector.
The WOWAX indices consist of the 20 largest companies in the fields of water utilities, water infrastructure and water treatment.
WOWAX is an equally weighted benchmark, that is the weight of each member is set at 5% on quarterly basis.
WOWAXcw is a market-cap weighted benchmark, with a cap at 10% so as to maintain an efficient diversification (i.e. no stock can weight more than 10% in the benchmark).
WOWAX indices are rebalanced every quarter and an index review takes place every six months.
