Why it works

An index made by managers, not by market cap.

Built from highest convictions

Each weight is set by the strongest, most repeated convictions of the best-performing managers on the amLeague platform — not by the size of the company.

Not cap-weighted

A classic cap-weighted index concentrates risk in a handful of mega-caps. amLeague EURO 50 diversifies by conviction, not by float.

15 years, publicly verifiable

Performance has been recorded continuously since 31 March 2011. No backtest, no reconstruction — just published history.
