The FTSE All-World GDP Adjusted Index introduces GDP weighting, aligning a country’s share in the global benchmark with the size of its economy rather than its market capitalization. This approach reflects the real economic scale, offering investors an alternative perspective compared to the traditional market-cap weighting method, which is valued for its efficiency in holding market positions. The new index aims to better represent economic fundamentals in portfolio construction.
