The fund adjusts its market capitalization weighting based on purity scores. The scores are based on how companies pursue a private equity business model (buying private companies, enhancing them over 7 to 10 years, and then selling them). Firms such as alternative asset managers, holding companies, and investment banks, which have limited direct ownership of private companies, would receive lower purity scores. The index reconstitutes and rebalances its portfolio quarterly.
