Industry Classification Benchmark – ICB

At NASDAQ OMX we put great effort in presenting the companies in the most beneficent way for the market professionals. The result of this ambition is that the companies are divided into the exchange value segments Small Cap, Mid Cap and Large Cap. This is finalized by the companies being classified according to industry. The advantages are among others:

Improves the visibility of the listed companies.
The classification applies to companies globally.
An easier way to find the different companies in the respective industry.
Provides comprehensive peer groups with Swedish and foreign companies.

The exchanges in Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Iceland, Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius all use the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) for sectorclassification of listed companies. A common standard facilitates analyses and comparisons between sectorsand companies in the Nordic and Baltic region.ICBwas developed by FTSE International, which is an independent supplier of global indexes and benchmark-based products and services.

The ICB structure consists of the following four levels:
