MSCI Commodity Producers Indices
Designed to reflect the performance of commodity producers stocks
The MSCI Commodity Producers Indices are equity-based indices designed to reflect the performance related to commodity producers stocks. The MSCI Commodity Producers Indies are free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted indices comprised of commodity producer companies based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®). MSCI further aggregates GICS® sub-industries into Commodity Producers Sectors: Energy, Metals and Agriculture sectors. Commodity Producers Sectors are not official GICS® sectors but aggregated subsets of GICS® sub-industries based on the MSCI Commodity Producers Indices Methodology.
In addition to market capitalization-weighted MSCI Commodity Producers Indices, sector capped weighted indices are also available. The sector capped weighting scheme gives equal weight to the energy, metals and agriculture sectors at each Quarterly Index Review.
The MSCI Commodity Producers Indices can be calculated for all MSCI Developed, Emerging and Frontier Markets countries, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the Arabian Markets countries. The MSCI Commodity Producers Indices are calculated according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology.
