Solactive Big Data & Hardware Index

The Solactive Big Data & Hardware Index intends to track a portfolio of global companies focusing on blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation and development as well as companies providing hardware and hardware-related services used in the process of mining, an essential part in supporting blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. The index takes a three-tier approach selecting one third of its components from companies focusing on the development of blockchain technologies, one third from the semiconductor industry which is at the heart of much of the hardware required for mining, and lastly one third from industries that directly supply other relevant hardware (e.g. memory and storage producers) or provide services increasingly important to large-scale cryptocurrency mining on a commercial level (e.g. Data Center REITS). The Index is calculated as a Net Total Return [NTR] Index and published in USD.
