IQSI

IQSI is an index-tracking fund designed to deliver exposure to international developed companies meeting environmental, social and corporate governance criteria developed by IndexIQ and Candriam. To form the initial index universe, the fund combines sector-specific analysis and ranking of issuer-specific factors, like corporate governance and labor practices, along with a macro analysis of the issuer's exposure to global sustainability trends, including health and wellness. Companies in the top 70% within each sector are selected. Companies are further screened based on any continued and significant non-compliance to Candriam's ESG criteria to exclude from the final index. The index is market-cap weighted with 10% cap placed on each security. IQSI is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.
