Overview
Dow Jones RBP Indexes℠ are an innovative family of quantitative strategy indexes based on rules-based analytics. Components are selected according to the likelihood they can deliver their Required Business Performance® (RBP®).

130/30 Series
The 130/30 indexes use RBP® probabilities to construct indexes of large capitalization securities that seek to reflect the performance of a typical 130/30 investment strategy, which shorts the bottom 30% of stocks in order to go long on the top 30% with the bottom and top ranked by RBP® probabilities.

Directional Series
The directional series indexes select and weight stocks based on their RBP® rankings. These indexes seek to measure the performance of stocks that may lead their peers when ranked by RBP® probabilities. To mitigate systemic and market volatility, beta and momentum filters are used to refine the selection universe. The "aggressive" indexes include stocks measured to have beta factors greater than one, and conversely the "defensive" indexes include stocks with beta factors less than one. The "market" indexes are made up of stocks with beta factors close to one.
