The S&P Select Industry Indices are designed to measure the performance of narrow Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sub-industries or groups of sub-industries. Membership is based on a company’s GICS classification, as well as liquidity and market cap requirements.
The GICS structure consists of 10 sectors, 24 industry groups, 67 industries and 156 subindustries. Companies are classified primarily based on revenues; however, earnings and market perception are also considered in classification analysis. The GICS sub-industry level offers the most granular level of industry definition within the GICS structure. Therefore, the S&P Select Industry Indices offer the purest representation of a particular industry.
