Solactive-BlueStar Israel Fact Sheet Economic Exposure Indexes Data as of Mar. 31, 2019 The Solactive-BlueStar Israel Domestic Exposure Index (IDEI) and Solactive-BlueStar Global Exposure Index (IGEI) provide investors with two distinct benchmarks for Israeli equities – designed to reflect the segmentation of the Israeli economy between globally-oriented firms and companies primarily focused on serving the domestic economy. These indexes can be used as vital indicators of Israel’s economic cycles and specific economic trends, as well as tools or vehicles to track the potential risk of geopolitical events in the volatile Middle East. Additionally, these indexes provide insight into the different risk, reward, correlation, yield and other technical and fundamental characteristics of Israeli Global Equities representing Israel’s domestic and global economies. The Solactive-BlueStar Israel Economic exposure indexes utilize the constituents of its parent index, the BlueStar Israel Global Index – Total Investable Market (BITM). The index methodologies define a company’s economic exposure by the percentage of its revenues derived from the target economic zone – revenue from within Israel for IDEI and revenue from outside of Israel for IGEI. In addition the index methodology provides for several diversification and liquidity limitations. Finally, the index methodology takes into account the importance of balanced, yet representative, sector exposure and diversification within sectors. 9-Year Performance 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 Mar-10 Mar-11 Mar-12 Mar-13 Mar-14 Mar-15 Mar-16 Mar-17 Mar-18 TA-125 BIGI MSCI EAFE Israel Domestic Exposure Israel Global Exposure www.bluestarindexes.com 1 Solactive-BlueStar Israel Domestic Exposure Fact Sheet Index Total Return (IDEITR) Data as of Mar. 31, 2019 INDEX OVERVIEW The Solactive-BlueStar Israel Domestic Exposure Index was developed in partnership by BlueStar Indexes and Solactive AG and is calculated, published and distributed by Solactive AG.
