ATLANTA & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.

CRSP, an affiliate of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, will employ ICE’s Uniform Entity Sectors methodology for its cap-based, industry sector, and ESG indexes.

“CRSP has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with ICE,” said David Barclay, CRSP Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to expand this partnership with our adoption of the UES Classification System. It’s important that our partner covers the U.S. domestic market as CRSP does, and we see that ICE follows this focus with the Uniform Equity Sector Classification System.”

Industry sectors are used throughout financial and business communities to group issuers of stocks and bonds with their industry peers for analysis, benchmarking and investment strategies. ICE’s proprietary Uniform Entity Sectors provide a five-tiered classification schema, starting at the top-level sector and ranging down to the most expansive sub-industry, addressing a universe of organizations that issue equities, corporate bonds and government securities.

“CRSP’s Market Indexes and the CRSP Research Products databases are respected throughout the financial industry and have become valuable benchmarking tools for institutional investors,” said Amanda Hindlian, President of Fixed Income and Data Services at ICE. “Our Uniform Entity Sectors schema leverages our deep experience across evaluated pricing, reference data and index construction and provides greater transparency into both issuing entities and their peers across a broad range of asset classes.”
