S&P Dow adds five revenue exposure indexes that seek out ‘top line’

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Jan. 25 – S&P Dow Jones Indices said it launched the S&P global revenue exposure indexes, which consist of five indexes that target equity exposure.

The group consists of the S&P 500 U.S. Revenue Exposure index, the S&P/TSX 60 U.S. Revenue Exposure index, the S&P/Topix 150 Japan Revenue Exposure index, the S&P/Topix 150 U.S. Revenue Exposure index and the S&P Europe 350 Foreign Revenue Exposure index.

The indexes “measure the performance of companies dominating revenue streams from targeted regions internationally,” according to a company announcement.

The index weightings are determined by each company's float-adjusted market capitalization and revenues earned within the target region, the release noted.

"The S&P Global Revenue Exposure Indices are an opportunity for targeted equity exposure, as they represent the markets that hold the greatest influence to a company's top line," Philip Murphy, vice president of product management at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in the company’s press release.
