Key points to note:
- The ICBCCS WisdomTree S&P China 500 UCITS ETF Class B USD seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P China 500 Index (the “Index”).
- The S&P China 500 Index uses a rules-based process to select 500 of the largest and most-liquid Chinese companies, while approximating the sector composition of the broader Chinese equity market. All Chinese share classes, including A-shares and offshore listings, are eligible for inclusion, subject to meeting minimum size and liquidity requirements.
- The largest companies (measured by total market capitalisation, including all share classes) are selected within each Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) sector with the goal of matching the sector weights of the broader S&P Total China BMI. The S&P China 500 is weighted by float-adjusted market cap and is rebalanced semi-annually in June and December.
