ICB - Industry Classification Benchmark

Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE have created a definitive classification system called the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). The system is supported by the ICB Universe Database, which contains over 40,000 companies and 45,000 securities worldwide from the FTSE and Dow Jones universes.The coverage makes the database a comprehensive tool for global sector analysis.

The expertise of Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE has made ICB a relevant and user-friendly classification standard for trading and investment decisions. Given their combined global presence and partnerships, ICB is expected to become a global standard.

The ICB Difference

  • Investor focused - ICB has been created with the needs of the investment community in mind and offers increased clarity, better structure and universality
  • Flexible structure - The four tiers meet industry analysis requirements - from broad industry trends to detailed analysis - across regions and countries
  • Global presence - ICB is adopted by stock exchanges representing over 65% of the world's market capitalization
  • Relevant to investors - The Industry and Supersector tiers are designed to reflect and facilitate current sector-based investment strategies
  • Global reach - ICB is a single system from truly global players. The merger of the FTSE and Dow Jones Indexes systems has provided previously unseen coverage for the market
  • Assured and accurate - Independent management combined with input from Global research teams provides the reassurance of accurate representation and continued growth and monitoring of the market
  • Backed by a single database product - The ICB system has been applied to an exhaustive universe of stocks to create the ICB Universe Database

行业分类标准（ICB）是由富时集团与道琼斯指数共同创立的权威行业分类标准，也是与交易及投资决策相关性最高，最容易被用户掌握的标准。ICB将取代富时全球分类系统，并将涵盖全球45,000多种证券。

ICB主要优势：

  • 数据源单一，无需单独拥有数据库，也不必在行业研究上投入成本及时间
  • 为市场分析、股票选择以及市场表现评估提供统一基准
  • 应用于多种投资研究与分析及交易所买卖产品，与分析数据供应商与领先交易所合作
  • ICB所用数据由全球各个主要地区的研究部门提供，可以反映全球行业状况

ICB结构

ICB 受到透明及规范化管理。包括4个分类级别，在富时全球行业分类体系的基础上增加一个“超行业”。ICB可在任何级别上对公司进行比较，并将最能体现行业本质的公司列入‘超行业’级别。

ICB委员会

ICB顾问委员会由富时集团与道琼斯指数共同建立。该委员会所提供的建议包括ICB的发展，分类系统的未来调整，以及特定情况下某一公司的行业分类。
