EXI

EXI offers access to global industrials, providing reasonably marketlike coverage in a stable, accessible package. It excludes smaller firms by rule, favoring large-caps instead. The fund slightly overweights the firms that already dominate the space due to its market-cap weighting, but avoids geographic biases overall. The index constituents are individually selected by a committee from the S&P Global 1200, and narrowed down to include only those classified as industrials by GICS. EXI uses a sampling method, which means it will invest in a sample of securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the underlying index. Rebalancing is done quarterly.
