The Fidelity Emerging Markets Quality Value Index measures the performance of companies from the S&P Emerging Plus BMI Index (the "Reference Index") that exhibit attractive valuations, ESG characteristics, and specified investment quality attributes while retaining broadly neutral Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) sector and country weights relative to the selection universe as described under Index
Construction.
The Index applies exclusions based on companies’ involvement in specific business activities and performance against the principles of the United Nations’ Global Compact (UNGC), as well as Controversy Ratings and aims to meet the sustainability criteria as outlined under Index Construction.
The methodology is administered and calculated by S&P DJI Netherlands B.V. (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC).
