The HSBC Economic Scale Indices (ESI) have been developed by HSBC Global Asset Management and are calculated by the HSBC Quantitative Techniques team, HSBC’s specialist index calculation unit.
The indices have been designed to provide investors with a series of indices based on weights which reflect fundamental Economic Scale or ‘footprint’ of companies and countries rather than their respective market capitalisation.
Chris Cheetham, global chief investment officer at HSBC GAM, said: "A paradigm shift is taking place in the industry as more investors are challenging the so-called conventional wisdom of market capitalisation-weighted indices and their inherent flaws.
"We believe our proprietary HSBC Economic Scale Indices offer investors an intuitive and effective low cost solution," added Cheetham.
