Ordinary Index Rebalancing and Methodology Change in the Concinnity Conscious Companies Index PR Index | April 2020
“Given recent and extraordinary structural changes to the US large cap market, adhering to index guidelines for risk exposures requires adjustment to the Conscious Companies Index weighting scheme.
Examination of risk exposures in the KRMATR/KRMAPR indexes shows tracking error to the Solactive US Large Cap Index has increased from 2.6% to 3.6%. To alleviate this growing risk, the Conscious Companies Index committee has voted to adjust the weighting scheme to prevent assigning any individual stock more than a -1% active underweight, while maintaining equal weighting for all remaining stocks.
In addition, due to the extreme economic upheaval caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the index committee has also voted to remove stocks in highly effected industries that have fallen below thresholds of financial health used for the annual index construction.”
