Our Methodology

  • Define the investment theme, strategy, or benchmark objective to be represented, including economic exposure, sector focus, or factor emphasis.

  • Identify the eligible stock universe and apply objective inclusion criteria such as market capitalization, liquidity thresholds, sector representation, and geographic exposure.

  • Select index constituents and apply a transparent weighting methodology aligned to the strategy, such as market cap, equal weight, or factor adjusted approaches.

  • Construct the index using standardized calculation rules to generate real-time or periodic index values reflecting constituent price movements.

  • Apply a disciplined review and rebalancing process to maintain alignment with the defined strategy as markets, constituents, and fundamentals evolve.

  • Deliver a fully documented index with constituent insights, performance analytics, and readiness for use in benchmarking, product structuring, or portfolio analysis.

Four Week Solution

Week 1

Discovery

The kick-off commences by building a comprehensive constituent inventory and conducting initial discovery. This includes cataloging potential stocks, their sectors, market caps, and liquidity profiles aligned with your index objectives. Weighting schemes, rebalance rules, and benchmark criteria are mapped. Existing indices, historical performance, and market data sources are reviewed. By week's end, you receive a detailed index landscape report with composition indicators and baseline construction readiness assessment.

Assessment

Week 2

Constituent-specific attributes are explored via a deep dive through targeted backtesting and risk simulations. This covers evaluating correlation risks, volatility clusters, sector exposures, and tracking errors. Common pitfalls like concentration bias, illiquid holdings, and style drifts are tested. Impacts from potential market shifts, such as sector rotations or volatility spikes, are quantified, prioritizing stocks by relevance, stability, and performance contribution. The output is an index heatmap with scored findings, quick optimization wins, and high-priority constituent flags.

Planning

Week 3

With attributes mapped, full-scope index constructions are executed using standardized methodologies and quantitative tools. Detailed reviews of rulesets, weighting models, rebalance simulations, and total return calculations are performed. Claims against benchmarks like market-cap weighting, equal-weighting, and smart-beta factors are validated. Evidence requests and score indices on efficiency metrics are negotiated. You get interim construction reports per variant, complete with methodology summaries, gap analyses, and escalation recommendations for flawed designs.

Implementation

Week 4

The final week synthesizes findings into an actionable stock index roadmap. Finalized rules, live feeds, and dissemination protocols tailored to your strategy are designed. Governance frameworks including rebalance cadences, performance dashboards, and adjustment triggers are established. Training on index best practices and tracking tools is delivered. Your key takeaway is a fortified index ecosystem with deployed benchmarks, phased maintenance, and sustained tracking assurance.
