What makes the B500 Index Methodology Different?

 

It is strictly rules-based and transparent, designed to provide users with clear, foreseeable, U.S. Large Cap exposure, free of subjectivity

Allows for high-profile IPOs to be added to the index outside of semi-annual index reconstitution, as was the case for Palantir in 2020

Semi-annual reconstitution to ensure accuracy and relevance

No profitability requirement, ensuring the timely capture of high-growth potential companies, such as Tesla in 2013, providing an accurate market representation
