Resources for Investors
JUST Capital’s unique data, indexes, analysis, and rankings enable the investment community to align their decision-making with their values and lend their influence and resources toward building a just marketplace.
We conduct our own analysis of the connections between just corporate performance and financial returns (see our JUST Alpha research series), and we make our data available to others to do the same.
We are also launching a family of investable Indexes, beginning with the JUST Capital U.S. Large-Cap Diversified Index (JULCD), launched in November 2016, to help investors allocate capital to JUST-aligned investment strategies.
JUST U.S. Large Cap Diversified Index (JULCD)
The JULCD is based on JUST Capital’s unique methodology to analyze and rank the largest U.S. companies on the issues that matter most to the American public. The JULCD Index includes the top 50% of Russell 1000 companies ranked by JUST Capital by industry and is constructed to match the its industry weights. It features companies driving positive change on the issues the American public cares about most like worker pay and well-being, customer treatment and privacy, beneficial products, the environment, job creation, strong communities, and more.
Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
On June 13, 2018, Goldman Sachs Asset Management launched the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Ticker: JUST) which seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, the performance of the JULCD. “JUST is an important financial product – it specifically promotes corporate practices and policies that society values. This focus allows investment to flow toward a more sustainable and equitable future, while seeking to generate attractive returns for investors.” – Timothy J. O’Neill, co-head of Goldman Sachs’ Investment Management Division
Index Construction & Methodology Summary
The JUST U.S. Large Cap Diversified Index is rebalanced every December with the basket of the top-ranked 50% of stocks by industry, based on the most recent JUST Capital rankings. Constituents are reweighted so that each ICB industry weight in the JULCD index will match that of the Russell 1000. Each constituent’s weight within its ICB industry is proportional to its market capitalization.

Weighting Method
Stocks are weighted so that at each rebalance date the ICB industry weight in the JULCD index will match that of the Russell 1000. Each constituent weight within its relevant industry is proportional to its market capitalization. Between rebalance dates, stock weightings may differ from the Russell’s due to individual stock price performance.
