Overview
The Index measures the performance of 250 international developed market large- and mid-cap companies selected from the MSCI World ex Australia Index, with high value scores relative to their industry peers as calculated by MSCI at each rebalance. Exclusions apply for weapons and tobacco (subject to threshold screening).
Summary of Index calculation methodology
A five step process is followed to determine the Index:
1. Eligible universe
The eligible universe is all the companies in the MSCI World ex Australia Index (“Parent Index”) which is a traditional free-float adjusted market capitalisation (“FMC”) weighted index.
2. Securities are screened for exclusion based on the following business activities:
| Business activities | Exclusion |
|---|---|
| Conventional weapons | All companies deriving:
|
| Controversial weapons |
All companies with an involvement in the production of cluster bombs, landmines, depleted uranium weapons, chemical and biological weapons, blinding lasers, non-detectable fragments and incendiary weapons.
For more details, refer to the methodology of the MSCI Global Ex-Controversial Weapons Indexes available in the documents section below. |
| Nuclear weapons | All companies that:
|
| Tobacco | All companies:
|
The effectiveness of an exclusionary screen is limited by the accuracy, completeness and accessibility of information and disclosure the relevant entity makes available or is willing to make available. There may be instances where the above screens may not exclude a company if data about the company is incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable.
You may have differing views, opinions and understanding of the meaning of the terminology used in this section and PDS, to VanEck or MSCI or their third party providers (including ESG research providers), and therefore your expectations of permitted investments may be different to the actual investments of the Fund.
3. Value
MSCI calculates a value score for each remaining company in the universe based on the following fundamental accounting variables:
a) price-to-book value;
b) price-to-forward earnings; and
c) enterprise value-to-cash flow from operations.
Companies are ranked by value score and a fixed number required to cover 30% of the FMC of the Parent Index are selected, with the aim of attaining a high exposure to the value factor, while maintaining sufficient market capitalisation and number of companies covered. At the date of this PDS, 350 companies are included.
Constituents are then weighted with a tilt to value as follows:
Value weight = Value score x FMC weight in the Parent Index
4. Select top 250
The top 250 companies by value weight are then selected for the Index.
5. Weighting
The weights of the final 250 constituents are then:
(i) adjusted proportionately based on their value weight in step 3; and
(ii) normalised so that sectors in the Index represent the same weight as the Parent Index.
(iii) capped so that each issuer represents no more than 5% of the Index at each Index Review.
Currency hedging
MSCI reduces the exposure of the Index to foreign exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian dollar and currencies in which the constituents are denominated by notionally entering into forward foreign exchange contracts on a rolling one-month basis at the end of each month. The Index is not fully hedged and retains some exposure to currency movements.
Rebalances
The Index is reviewed and rebalanced on a semi-annual basis, usually as of the close of the last business day of May and November. The value scores are recalculated at the end of April and October and used for May and November rebalances respectively.
