The KLD Global SustainabilitySM Index (GSI) is a diversified global benchmark constructed using environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as selection criteria.The Index holds the top ESG-ranked companies by sector in each of three regions: NorthAmerica, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The GSI, modeled on the S&P/Citigroup Broad Market Index (BMI) World, is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that maintains sector neutrality.

The NASI, modeled on the S&P/Citigroup Broad Market Index North America (BMI NorthAmerica), is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index. To limit the systemic risk introduced by the ESG selection process, the NASI achieves sector neutrality through the application of targeted sector weights that reflect the relative sector weights of the underlying market.
