ILIT tracks an index comprised of lithium miners and compound manufacturers globally. The fund selects its stocks based on a two-tiered process. Tier 1 is divided into three, with Tier 1a being companies categorized as lithium ore miners. Tier 1b is for organizations classified as lithium compound manufacturers. Tier 1c are companies with more than 50% of their revenues tied with both lithium mining and lithium compound manufacturing, with the goal of having 50 stocks composing the index. In the occasion that less than 50 are eligible, Tier 2 constituents are considered. Tier 2 will be organizations with more than 25% but less than 50% of their revenues tied with both lithium industries. Companies are ranked and selected based on revenue exposure. The index is market-cap weighted with a tilt towards high-exposure (Tier 1 with top 20% of market share) companies. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
