1 FTSE FACTSHEET FTSE Emerging Cyclical and Defensive Indices Data as at: 31 May 2016 bmktitle1 The FTSE Cyclical and Defensive Index Series aims to offer contrasting degrees of sensitivity to the economic cycle in order to improve the transparency of market dynamics, and provide a mechanism for investors to implement an informed economic view. Indices within the Cyclical series are designed to be sensitive to the economic cycle, while those within the Defensive series are designed to be relatively insensitive. The index series uses the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) subsectors which are classified as Defensive or Cyclical. See the FTSE Cyclical and Defensive Index Series Ground Rules for a full description of the methodology for initial and subsequent annual subsector classification, constituent selection and weighting. Note: the specific ground rules for this index series should be read in conjunction with the ground rules for the relevant underlying index. 5-Year Performance relative to FTSE Emerging - Total Return Relative to FTSE Emerging (USD) May-2011 May-2012 May-2013 May-2014 May-2015 May-2016 FEATURES Coverage ists of stocks from Cyclical or Defensive ICB subsectors within the underlying index. Objective The indices are designed for the creation of ETFs and derivatives. Investability Stocks are selected and weighted to ensure that the index is investable. Capping Company level weights are capped at 10% on a quarterly basis to avoid overconcentration. Liquidity Stocks in the underlying index are screened to ensure that the index is tradable.
