Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF (GCLN US) – Portfolio Construction Methodology

The underlying Bloomberg Goldman Sachs Global Clean Energy Index provides global equity exposure to companies expected to benefit from the transition to low-carbon energy. The universe is drawn from Bloomberg’s investable global equity universe, covering developed and emerging markets, and then restricted to issuers whose primary activities lie across the clean power value chain, including renewable generation, clean-energy equipment, technology and enabling services. Each company is classified into exposure tiers that reflect the share and quality of revenue linked to clean energy; higher-tier, purer-play names receive larger effective weights than diversified or peripheral participants. All constituents must meet minimum free-float market cap and trading-liquidity thresholds consistent with Bloomberg’s core equity indices. The index uses a modified free-float market-cap methodology with diversification constraints to limit single-name and sector concentration, and it is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly schedule using the latest exposure, size and liquidity data.
