Style groupings are based on data provided by Compustat. Two security databases are used. The U.S. database covers more than 8000 firms, with total capitalization exceeding $14 trillion. The non-U.S. database coverage exceeds 10,000 firms, 20 countries, and $15 trillion -- substantially broader than EAFE.
To construct style groupings, we first break the Compustat database for the region into size groups based on market capitalization, calculated by multiplying shares outstanding by price per share. There are 3 regions maintained in our attribution system, StokTrib: U.S., Foreign and Global. Beginning with the largest capitalization company, we add companies until 65% of the entire capitalization of the region is covered. This group of stocks is then categorized as "large cap" (capitalization). There are generally about 200 companies in this group for U.S., 450 for Foreign, and 700 for Global. The second size group represents the next 25% of market capitalization and is called "mid cap". There are generally about 1,000 companies in this group for U.S., 1,600 for Foreign, and 2,800 for Global. Finally, the bottom 10% is called "small cap". There are generally 5,000 U.S. securities in this group, 6,500 Foreign, and 11,000 Global.
Then, within each size group, a further breakout is made on the basis of orientation. Value, core, and growth stock groupings within each size category are defined by establishing an aggressiveness measure. Aggressiveness is a proprietary measure that combines dividend yield and price/earnings ratio. The top 40% (by count) of stocks in aggressiveness are designated as "growth," while the bottom 40% are called "value," with the 20% in the middle falling into "core."
