The Global Sector Correlation Matrix highlights the high correlations between the S&P and MSCI sector indices. Both Standard & Poor's and Morgan Stanely Capital International adopt the same Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) to all indices, worldwide. GICS was developed by Standard & Poor's and MSCI in response to the global financial community's need for one complete, consistent set of global sector and industry definitions. The GICS system has four levels of detail: 10 sectors, 24 industry groupings, 67 industries and 147 subindustries. There are currently five iShares S&P Global Sector ETFs traded on AMEX: Energy, Financials, Info Technology, Health Care, and Telecommunications.

The S&P ADR index is made up of those international companies from the S&P Global 1200 Index that offer Level II or Level III ADRs, global shares, or U.S. listed shares of Canadian Securities. Currently, there are over 260 companies in the S&P ADR Index. As additional international companies from the S&P Global 1200 list on U.S. exchanges, these securities will be added to the Index. A security will be dropped from the S&P ADR Index when it ceases to have a U.S. listing or if it is removed from the S&P Global 1200.
