MSCI Global Ex Tobacco Involvement Indexes
MSCI ex Tobacco Involvement Indexes
The new MSCI ex Tobacco Involvement Indexes have been designed for use by investors, including pension funds, and universal owners who seek to avoid investments in companies involved in the tobacco business. These indexes are free float‐adjusted market capitalization weighted. The Indexes can be used as a benchmark for institutional investors who seek to exclude stocks involved in tobacco production.
The MSCI ex Tobacco Involvement Indexes use company research provided by MSCI ESG Research to determine eligibility for index inclusion. In particular, the indexes use MSCI ESG Business Involvement Screening Research to identify companies that are involved in the tobacco business. The Index excludes all companies classified as a producer of tobacco and deriving 5% or more aggregate revenue from production, distribution, retail and supply of tobacco related products.
