The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS)


The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) was developed by Standard & Poors, an independent international financial data and investment services company and a leading provider of global equity indices, and MSCI Barra, a premier independent provider of global indices and benchmark-related products and services. The GICS methodology aims to enhance the investment research and asset management process for financial professionals worldwide. It is the result of numerous discussions with asset owners, portfolio managers and investment analysts around the world and is designed in response to the global financial communitys need for accurate, complete and standard industry definitions. The GICS structure consists of 10 sectors, 24 industry groups, 68 industries and 154 sub-industries. The full GICS structure is detailed in the last section of this document. The GICS structure is: Universal: the structure applies to companies globally Reliable: the structure correctly reflects the current state of industries in the equity investment universe Flexible: the structure offers four levels of analysis, ranging from the most general sector to the most specialized sub-industry Evolving: annual reviews are conducted by Standard & Poors and MSCI Barra to ensure that the structure remains fully representative of todays global markets The GICS methodology has been widely accepted as an industry analysis framework for investment research, portfolio management and asset allocation. Its universal approach to industries worldwide has contributed to transparency and efficiency in the investment process, and the GICS methodology supports the trend towards sectorbased investing.

A Guide to the GICS Methodology


The way investors classify securities into asset classes has far reaching consequences for the investment community. Most often, security research and portfolio management are structured along the same definition of asset classes. Thus, the relative merits of securities are determined primarily within asset classes. A well-defined industry classification system makes it easier for analysts to compare companies relative valuations and to build return and risk estimates for industries. While most investors agree on the way a company is assigned to a country, this is not necessarily the case for any other grouping, be it value versus growth, small versus large cap or even industry classification. Nevertheless, as far as industry classification is concerned, we can distinguish four approaches. At one extreme lies a purely statistical method. It is financial market-based and uses past returns. For each region, aggregations are formed on the basis of securities correlations, building groups with high correlation within them and low correlation across them. The statistical approach has several drawbacks: the resulting aggregations often differ across regions; the method relies on historical data only; and, finally, it often yields illogical groups. A more pragmatic approach is to define a priori financial market-oriented groups or themes for example cyclical, non-cyclical, and interest rate sensitivity. The difficulty lies in determining groups that are widely accepted by investors, applicable globally and are relatively stable over time. The last two approaches are based on an economic perspective on companies. One is production-oriented while the other focuses on a demand or market perspective. These classifications have limitations as the structure of the global economy has evolved and many new industries have emerged. Standard & Poors and MSCI Barra offer an alternative classification system, which has been devised to address the needs of the changing global economy. We recognize that the emergence of the service era and the availability of global communications have changed the market focus from producers to consumers. The GICS methodology remains profoundly rooted in the microstructure of industries, but has shifted towards a market-oriented perspective. In todays economy, for example, drawing the line between goods and services is increasingly difficult and arbitrary, as almost all goods are sold with a service. Thus, the distinction between consumer goods and services has been replaced by the more market-oriented sectors of Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples which both contain goods and services sub-industries. Finally, sectors such as Health Care, Information Technology and Telecommunication Services accurately represent industries that provide significant value to the consumer in todays global, integrated economy. This contributes to a more uniform distribution of weights among the 10 GICS sectors and provides investors with clearly defined sectors.

Company Classification Guidelines


The GICS methodology assigns each company to a sub-industry, and to a corresponding industry, industry group and sector, according to the definition of its principal business activity. Since the classification is strictly hierarchical, at each of the four levels a company can only belong to one grouping. The classification aims to provide an accurate, complete and long-term view of the global investment universe from an industrial perspective. For most companies, revenues reflect companies activities more precisely than earnings, as they are less volatile than earnings. Also, while many companies do not provide earnings breakdowns, industrial and geographic breakdowns of revenues are generally available. Nevertheless, company valuations are more closely related to earnings than revenues and, therefore, earnings remain an important consideration. Consequently, companies are classified based primarily on revenues; however, earnings and market perception are also considered important criteria for analysis. The primary sources of information used to classify companies are the annual reports, financial statements and investment research reports. As a general rule, a company is classified in the sub-industry whose definition most closely describes the business activities that generate the majority of the companys revenues. However, a company engaged in two or more substantially different business activities, none of which contributes 60% or more of revenues, is classified in the sub-industry that provides the majority of both the companys revenues and earnings. When no sub-industry provides the majority of both the companys revenues and earnings, the classification will be determined based on further analysis. A company significantly diversified across three or more sectors, none of which contributes the majority of revenues or earnings, is classified either in the Industrial Conglomerates sub-industry (Industrials Sector) or the Multi-Sector Holdings sub-industry (Financials Sector). In the case of a new company, the initial classification is based primarily on the description of the companys activities and pro-forma results as given in the prospectus. A companys industry classification is reviewed either when a significant corporate restructuring occurs or when a new financial report is made available. To provide a stable industry classification, we attempt to minimize changes in the industry classification by disregarding temporary fluctuations in the results of a companys different business activities. In the event that the above guidelines should not appropriately capture a particular companys business activity, its classification will be determined based on more extensive analysis.
