INDEX: KLD LCSI
|
|
The KLD Large Cap Social IndexSM (LCSI) is a socially screened
subset of the Russell 1000® Index. The LCSI represents
approximately 92% of available US market capitalization.
Like KLD's first social investment benchmark, the eleven-year
old Domini 400 Social IndexSM (DSI 400),
the LCSISM is market capitalization weighted. As of its
June 2001 reconstitution, the LCSI comprised approximately
729 companies that pass KLD's proprietary broad-based
environmental and social screens.
The LCSISM offers investment professionals the ability to derive screened style and market cap subsets of the Russell 1000® Index. Through its relationship with Russell Mellon Analytical services, KLD provides clients with LCSISM analytical data to measure portfolio performance and conduct attribution analysis on the LCSISM and all comparable Russell 1000® index subsets. 
The LCSISM can serve as the basis for a variety of social investment
products, including mutual funds, ETFs, and commingled pools. The first mutual
fund that tracks the LCSISM was launched in July 2001.
