The KLD Large-Mid Cap SocialSM Index (LMSI) is a diversified and comprehensive representation of the U.S. large cap and mid cap equity market available to investors seeking to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their investment strategies. The LMSI holds companies with the highest ESG rankings in each sector of the large cap and mid cap U.S. equity market. To reduce the systematic risk introduced by the selection process, the LMSI is designed to approximate the sector weights of the underlying market based on sector weighting targets. The LMSI is one of two composite indexes in the KLD Broad Market Social Index (BMSI) series. The LMSI is comprised of the constituents of the KLD Large Cap Social Index (LCSI) and the KLD Mid Cap Social Index (MCSI).
The LMSI offers a diversified benchmark for measuring the risk and return characteristics of large-mid cap U.S. portfolios that incorporate ESG performance into the equity selection process.
