Besides liquidity and market cap screens, various exclusionary screens are applied: REITs, and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed Limited Partnerships, OTC securities, holding companies (in general) are excluded. At each semi-annual rebalance, index constituents will be capped at 10% and will be finalized by BlueStars Index Advisory Committee.
