Some examples of<br \/>\nconstituents are: Tesla, Baidu, Texas Instruments, BYD, and Samsung.<\/p>\n<p>The Solactive Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index combines market cap and equal<br \/>\nweighting to weigh stocks. Components are divided into four groups according to market<br \/>\ncapitalization, with each group being assigned a composite weight depending on market<br \/>\ncapitalization. Within each group, companies are equally weighted. In this fashion,<br \/>\ncompanies with larger market capitalizations are given more weight, while also reducing<br \/>\nthe risk of weight concentration in the index.<\/p>\n<p>Timo Pfeiffer, Head of Research at Solactive, commented: <em>\u201cHow will cars and the<br \/>\nautomotive industry evolve in the future is a very interesting question that will clearly<br \/>\ngrow in importance as time goes by. As such, the Solactive Electric Vehicles and Future<br \/>\nMobility Index allows investors to track the performance of those companies driving and<br \/>\ncontributing to innovation in this space, thus providing a snapshot of how this segment is<br \/>\ngrowing over time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The index is composed of 64 globally listed companies, including China A-shares listed on<br \/>\nthe Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges.
