Firstly, the index claims that qualitative filters exist which aids the selection of eligible universe with emphasis on safety, technical reliability, and tradability. The eligible universe consists of at least five constituents and there’s continuous supervision.

Third, the index boasts of a monthly rebalancing system that resets the weights of the constituents to their dynamic target allocations. The system execution follows defined price-fixing rules.
