The smart beta track the constituents of leading financial benchmarks, including the S&P 500, S&P/TSX 60, S&P/TOPIX 150 and the S&P Europe 350, that exceed the average generated revenue of all constituents within a specified country or bloc.

The newly launched indices include:

S&P 500 US Revenue Exposure Index
S&P/TSX 60 US Revenue Exposure Index
S&P/TOPIX 150 Japan Revenue Exposure Index
S&P/TOPIX 150 US Revenue Exposure Index
