Jointly developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI, the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) sets out 11 standardised industry definitions used by share markets around the world. The ASX adopted GICS in 2002, allowing investors to easily analyse and compare the Australian market and its global peers.
As well as the 11 GICS sectors, the ASX and S&P Dow Jones Indices have also developed five additional sector indices, reflecting the specialised characteristics of the Australian market.
