Industry
Classification
Benchmark
The Industry Classification Benchmark
(ICB) is an industry classification
taxonomy launched by Dow Jones and
FTSE in 2005 and now owned solely by
FTSE International. It is used to segregate
markets into sectors within the
macroeconomy. The ICB uses a system of
10 industries, partitioned into 19
supersectors, which are further divided
into 41 sectors, which then contain 114
subsectors.[1][2]
The ICB is used globally (though not
universally) to divide the market into
increasingly specific categories, allowing
investors to compare industry trends
between well-defined subsectors. The ICB
replaced the legacy FTSE and Dow Jones
classification systems on 3 January 2006,
and is used today by the NASDAQ, NYSE
and several other markets around the
globe. All ICB sectors are represented on
the New York Stock Exchange except
Equity Investment Instruments (8980) and
Nonequity Investment Instruments
(8990).[3]
Dow Jones divested itself of its 50%
interest in the ICB in 2011 and announced
it was creating its own version of it.[4]
