CHPS

CHPS is designed to provide exposure to companies in the global semiconductor industry. These include the semiconductor equipment and services and the semiconductor manufacturing sub-sectors. The index selects securities from the Solactive GBS Global Markets Semiconductor All Cap USD Index PR, the parent index, that provides exposure to the global semiconductor industry as defined by RBICS based on the majority of revenue streams the companies generate. Eligible companies must meet trading, liquidity, and size requirements. Securities listed in China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, or Russia are excluded. The index then applies ESG screens to remove companies that are non-compliant with the UNGC principles, have an ESG risk score of 40 or higher, and are involved in controversial and conventional weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, and oil and gas. After that, the fund selects the largest 50 securities by market cap. Securities are weighted by market cap, subject to individual security capping.
