GICS Codes What Are Global Industry Classification System Codes?
The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) is a collaboration between Standard & Poors and Morgan Stanley Capital International.* GICS codes are 8-digit codes that correspond to various business or industrial activities, such as Oil & Gas Drilling or Wireless Telecommunication Services. GICS is based upon a classification of economic sectors, which can be further subdivided into a hierarchy of industry groups, industries and sub-industries. In total, there are 10 economic sectors, 23 industry groups, 59 industries and 123 sub-industries categories, to date. The classification codes are left justified. All Sectors have a 2-digit identification code (leftmost 2 digits); all Industry Groups have a 4-digit identification code (leftmost 4 digits); all Industries have a 6-digit identification code (leftmost 6 digits); and all Sub-Industries use the full 8-digit identification code. Following is a sample of the Global Industry Classification Standard codes hierarchy for IBM: Economic Sector: 45 Information Technology Industry Group: 4520 Technology Hardware & Equipment Industry: 452020 Computers and Peripherals Sub-Industry: 45202010 Computer Hardware For active companies, GICS history will be from 6/30/99 forward. For research (inactive) companies, GICS history will be retained only for the month that the company became inactive. Any previous history collected will be set to 00000000. For example, Company ABC became a Research File company effective October 31, 1997. At that time, its GICS code was 25203010. The history for GICS for this company will be as of 10/01/97 through 10/31/97 with the code 25203010. All history prior to 10/01/97 will now be 00000000. *Note: GICS for inactive companies have not been reviewed or approved by Morgan Stanley Capital International; they were assigned by Standard & Poors.
