SCREENING METHODOLOGY SCREENING METHODOLOGY
Companies are included in the index on the basis of a scoring system. Companies with a score of 125 or greater are considered “pure-play” companies, companies with a score of less than 125 but greater than 75 are considered “core” companies, and companies with a score of less than 75 but greater than 25 are considered “non-core” companies. Companies with a score of less than 25 are considered “N/A”.
Companies are assigned a starting score (Exhibit A - Starting Scores). The list contains starting scores for public and non-public companies. If a non-public company goes public under a different name yet contains substantially all business assets of the entity in the list, the new entity will receive the starting score described below. The starting scores for all currently traded public companies is zero, except those on the list.
From there, a company’s score is increased based on the number of mentions of the keywords from the keyword list (Exhibit B - Keyword List) by the company in publicly available filings within the last 12 months. 1 point is added to the starting score for each mention.
Companies are assigned an additional 25 points each, provided that they have at least 1 “mention” over the prior 12 months AND they are included the list of GICS Sub-Industries (Exhibit C - GICS Sub-Industries List).
An additional 100 points is assigned to each company which includes any of the terms from the Keyword List in the Company Description on Bloomberg.
