Why BLOCK?
Innovative Exposure to Blockchain Sector
BLOCK is engineered to offer investors focused exposure to companies involved in the development and implementation of blockchain technologies.
Rigorous Selection Process
BLOCK employs a meticulous investment process that ensures only companies meeting specific, stringent criteria related to their involvement in blockchain technologies are included, aiming for a high-quality, targeted index composition.
Diverse Constituents
Constituents cover a diverse set of companies across various sub-sectors within the blockchain industry, helping to spread risk and capture growth across different applications of the technology.
Transparent and Dynamic
BLOCK is rebalanced quarterly, ensuring the index can adapt its weights and constituents to the rapidly evolving blockchain sector, potentially offering investors a more relevant and timely exposure compared to more static indices.
Index Methodology
Stocks are assessed according to a blockchain scoring methodology, which consists of five parameters: Blockchain Earnings Significance, Blockchain Earnings Potential, Blockchain Development Stage, Blockchain Business Competitive Positioning and Blockchain Business Sustainability.
This results in a Blockchain Category Score ranging from 1 (Potential) to 5 (Core). The index weight of each constituent is determined by the share of each individual company’s Blockchain Category Score in relation to the sum of the Blockchain Category Scores of all index members. The weight is then adjusted according to the company’s liquidity, which is calculated based on each constituent’s average daily trading volumes.
