FTSE Russell offers a consistent and flexible capping methodology to help investors meet concentration and diversification requirements. The capping methodology may be applied to most FTSE Russell indices.

  • RIC Capped indices: Market-capitalisation weighted indices designed to limit concentration in any single security as part of the Regulated Investment Company (RIC) concentration requirements for US registered funds. Constituents are capped quarterly so that no more than 20% of the indices weight may be allocated to a single constituent, and the sum of the weights of all constituents representing more than 4.5% of the index should not exceed 48% of the total index weight. Buffers are utilised to ensure that the constituents do not breach the desired targets.
  • UCITS Capped indices: Market-capitalisation weighted indices designed to limit concentration in any single security as part of the Undertakings for Collective Investment of Transferable Securities (UCITS) diversification requirements for European Union registered funds. Single or two-level capping approaches are available to limit the weight of companies. Buffers are utilised to ensure that the constituents do not breach the desired targets.
