Key Features

Broad Market Exposure with a Focus on Gender Equality

Built with the data and scoring methodology of Equileap, the Morningstar Gender Diversity Indexes are designed to emphasize the stocks of companies that have strong gender diversity policies embedded in their corporate culture and that ensure equal opportunities to employees, irrespective of their gender.

Focus on gender equality
Equileap’s gender diversity scores determine each stock’s over- or underweighting relative to the market.
Low tracking error
The indexes take low active risk relative to the market, mitigating the likelihood of significant underperformance.
Broad portfolios with weighting constraints
Limited exposure to unintended firm- or sector-specific risk

Construction Process

  • Screening process considers the four categories of the Equileap Gender Equality Scorecard™
  • Companies are awarded an overall score based on commitment to equality in the workplace
  • Companies are divided into five equally sized groups based on their Gender Equality Score
  • Float-adjusted market cap is used alongside tilt factor to arrive at the final weight
  • Country and sector weights are anchored to the parent indexes for the Developed ex-Japan and Japan indexes, respectively
