Methodology

The parent index of the Global Solar Energy Index is the STOXX World AC All Cap Index.
A set of size and liquidity screens are applied on the Global Solar Energy Index to capture liquid companies from eligible countries. The Global Solar Energy Index selects companies that generate more than 50% of revenues within the sectors associated with the solar energy theme. Companies with RBICS Focus classification from one of the associated sectors are also selected. 
The index is price-weighted with weighting factors based on free-float market capitalization with high exposure and concentration capping and its composition is reviewed annually in September.
