DJSI NORTH
AMERICA AND DJSI UNITED STATES - KEY FACTS
- The Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI
North America) and Dow Jones Sustainability United States
Index (DJSI United States) comprise the leading companies
in terms of sustainability from North America and the US.
For both of these indexes there is a composite and a specialized
index available with the latter excluding companies that
generate revenue from alcohol, tobacco, gambling, armaments
or firearms. This set of indexes was first published on
23 September, 2005.
- The DJSI North America tracks the financial performance
of the top 20% in terms of sustainability of the 600 biggest
North American companies in the Dow Jones Global Total Stock Market Index. The
DJSI United States is the US subset of the DJSI North America.
- As of 23 September, 2005, the DJSI North America included
111 components and the DJSI United States included 93 companies.
- The DJSI North America and its subsets are reviewed annually
and quarterly to ensure that the index composition accurately
represents the leading sustainability companies in each
of the DJSI sectors within the investable universe.
- The annual review methodology selects these leading sustainability
companies from the investable stocks universe. The resulting
changes to the index composition are announced on the annual
review date in the first week of September and implemented
- after the official closing prices have been determined
- on the third Friday of September.
- The quarterly reviews reflect changes in the investable
stocks universe as well as changes with regard to the number
of shares, free float factors and — if applicable
— free float cap factors. Quarterly reviews are implemented
on the third Friday in March, June, September, and December
to become effective on the next trading day.
