INDEX: KLD BMSI
|
|
The KLD Broad Market Social Index (BMSI) consists of all companies within the
Russell 3000 that pass KLD's screening criteria. The intent of the index is to
give investors a benchmark of socially screened companies against which to
compare investment results.
Companies involved in alcohol, tobacco, firearms, gambling, nuclear power, and military contracting are excluded from consideration. All remaining companies are then evaluated for employee diversity, product, innovation, and community involvement among other criteria. 
All Russell 3000 companies passing these screens are included in the KLD Broad
Market Social Index, which is reconstituted every June along with the Russell
3000.
