Sector/Industry Index

(as implemented by Yahoo Finance)

 

There are a variety of systems for classifying the business that a particular company is in, all of which are a derivation from the U.S. government's Standard Industry Code (SIC) system.

 

Our Preferred Stock ListTM (PSL) database classifies the sector and industry of a particular preferred stock issuer using the Global Industry Classification Standard as implemented by Yahoo Finance.
