Sector & Industry
The RBICS (Revere Business Industry Classification System) model is used to classify companies into sectors and industries. RBICS is a proprietary model that employs a hierarchical structure, where companies are grouped based on the business that generates the majority of their revenue. This approach allows for a more accurate classification of diversified companies.
Sectors in RBICS are organized into several general economic categories:
- Durables (long-term use goods)
- Non-durables (short-term use goods)
- Services
- Infrastructure
- Miscellaneous
| Durables | Non-durables | Services | Infrastructure | Miscellaneous | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Materials | Non-Energy Minerals | Energy Minerals | Industrial Services | Transportation Utilities Finance Communications | Miscellaneous Investment Trusts/ Mutual Funds |
| Producer | Producer Manufacturing | Process Industries | Commercial Services Distribution | ||
| Technology | Electronic Technology | Health Technology | Technology Services Health Services | ||
| Consumer | Consumer Durables | Consumer Non-Durables | Consumer Services Retail Trade |
