About this ETF
This custom index, named MSCI World Communication Services 20-35, is designed to mirror the investment performance of a specific segment of the global market. It focuses on major and mid-sized companies operating within the Communication Services sector in developed nations worldwide, as defined by the GICS classification system. The index weights its constituents based on their free-float adjusted market capitalization. To manage concentration, the largest single group entity's weight is capped at 35%, while all other individual components are limited to a maximum of 20%. A 10% buffer is applied to these limits during each quarterly rebalancing cycle. For comprehensive information on the index's construction, selection criteria, and weighting methodology, please refer to the official MSCI website at https://www.msci.com.
