The Harvest Blockchain Technologies Index is an index designed to track the issuers exposed to the development and implementation of blockchain technologies in North America and world-wide, giving consideration to the current stage of the technology's development, adoption levels and the available universe of the growing number of blockchain issuers.

The primary stock Index tracks the leading public companies with business activities focused on the blockchain industry in North America. The Index is broken down into two separate segments: Large Cap Blockchain and Emerging Blockchain. The Index is intended to represent the broad landscape of publicly listed blockchain technology companies. Given the developing nature of the technology, the Index is designed to transition from a combination of both Large Cap Technology Blockchain and Emerging Blockchain issuers into being focused exclusively on the Emerging Blockchain segment, as this sector gains critical mass.

The Large Cap Blockchain segment of the Index is equally-weighted giving the same weight, or importance, to each stock in the Index. The Emerging Blockchain segment is market capitalization weighted, giving more weighting to the issuers with larger market capitalizations and is also adjusted for the relative size of segment in relation to its proportion of the overall Index as highlighted in the document below. The Index is rebalanced quarterly based on closing prices for the most recentrebalancing quarter-end, occurring within 15 business days following the last day of January, April, July and October, of each year. Between rebalancing dates, due to market movements, the Index will deviate from the most recent reconstitution weightings.
