Eligible companies must have at least 50% of their revenue from the relevant theme. The index will have a minimum of 35 constituents, which will include all Tier 1 securities and a minimum of 10 Tier 2 securities, selected in descending order of float-adjusted market-cap. The component securities of the index are weighted by float-adjusted market-cap with Tier 1 securities allocated a minimum weight of 75% in aggregate.
