WHEN YOUR BOTTOM LINE IS THE BEST DATA


Hemscott's proprietary Industry Groups classification system of 9 macroeconomic
sectors, 31 business segments and 215 industry groups.
                         GURU
The North American Industry Groups database is based on Hemscott's proprietary Industry Groups classification system.
The system is comprised of 9 macroeconomic sectors, 31 business segments and 215 industry groups. Each of the 215
industry groups may be broken out as a separate index with its own return calculation. These categories apply to both U.S.
and Canadian companies.

Within the database, each company is assigned to a specific Industry Group. Once a company is classified, its financial data
becomes part of the aggregated industry financial statement ­ weighted by the company's market capitalization.

Clients can select and view aggregate financial data by Sector, Segment or Industry, and can also find individual company
data within a specific Industry Group for company-to-industry comparisons.

Macroeconomic Sector & Segment Groups include (Please refer to Hemscott Industry Groups sheet for a complete list):
