The company did not meet the selection criteria when the index was last reconstituted. Companies that now meet index selection criteria will become candidates for inclusion at the next reconstitution date.
Eligible initial public offerings will be considered for inclusion on the index’s next scheduled quarterly reconstitution date.
If an index component’s stock is discontinued due to a merger or acquisition, the index committee may, at its sole discretion, replace the discontinued component at the time of discontinuation if more than 30 calendar days remain until the next reconstitution date. The discontinued component will either be deleted entirely or be replaced with the next eligible security from a reserve list. The replacement will be given the appropriate weighting given the securities country of domicile. If there are not more than 30 calendar days remaining until the next reconstitution date, the index committee will wait until the next reconstitution date to make the replacement. In this scenario, any funds received from the discontinued security will be distributed to the remaining index components pro rata.
The index is rebalanced quarterly on the last Thursday of February, May, August, and November.
The index follows a revenue-weighting methodology. Each component is assigned an initial weight according to its year-over-year quarterly revenue growth percentage. All eligible securities that demonstrate a positive year-over-year quarterly revenue percentage growth are selected. If less than 30 securities do not meet the criterion, the top 30 securities based on its year-over-year quarterly revenue percentage growth are selected.
