The Sieve

Pan the index universe

75,627 equity-linked index listings collapse to 22,083 distinct baskets once currency, return-type and hedged copies are grouped. Search, then sift by provider, exchange, category and Purity.

Purity

How unique is an index?

Many indices are the same basket repackaged: quoted in another currency, as a price, total-return or net-return version, or currency-hedged. We group those lookalikes together. Purity is 100 divided by the size of the group: a one-of-a-kind index scores 100 (Pure), 2 to 6 lookalikes is Common, and 7 or more is Crowded. It measures uniqueness only, not quality or performance.
