Business Editors
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2000--The Goldman Sachs
Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) announced today that the compositions of the
Goldman Sachs E-Commerce Indexes (GSEC(TM)) and the Goldman Sachs
Sector Indexes (GSSI(TM)) were rebalanced on Monday, January 24, 2000.
The indexes are rebalanced semi-annually.
GSEC, which were launched in August 1999, are designed to be
representative and objective benchmarks of traded equity securities in
the evolving, high growth U.S. electronic commerce sector. GSSI, which
were launched in April 1998, are designed to serve as broadly
representative benchmarks to reflect the unique constraints on sector
mutual funds in the U.S.
Developed jointly by the Goldman Sachs E-Commerce research team
and Goldman Sachs Index Services, GSEC and GSSI are modified
capitalization-weighted indexes. The following is a table of the
number of constituents after rebalancing, the number of additions, the
number of deletions and the maximum weight capitalizations for each
index.
