NEW YORK / AGILITYPR.NEWS / July 30, 2025 / Syntax Data, a financial data and technology provider offering data-optimized custom index solutions, is at the heart of two major ETF launches reshaping sector-focused investing and large-cap diversification across the S&P 500 universe.

Syntax played a key role in the development of the WEBs Investments Defined Volatility Sector ETFs – a suite of 11 funds listed on the Nasdaq that applies the Defined Volatility strategy to the individual sectors within the S&P 500 – by creating the custom Defined Volatility indices that underpin each ETF in the suite. Syntax’s indices provide the dynamic, real-time volatility framework used by the ETFs, evaluating 21-day realized volatility daily and adjusting sector exposure accordingly. Syntax’s involvement ensured that the ETFs could offer precise, transparent, and adaptive sector-based risk management as their core investment approach.

Syntax also played a critical role in the creation of the Xtrackers S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight ETF, launched by DWS, a leading European asset manager with global reach. The fund leverages Syntax’s proprietary Functional Information System (FIS®) framework, which underpins the S&P 500 Diversified Sector Weight Index. This index reimagines sector classification and weighting, distributing sector exposures based on real business activity and underlying company revenue streams, rather than traditional labels or market capitalization dominance. The result is a more balanced, diversified approach that aims to mitigate concentration risk and better represent the breadth of opportunities across the S&P 500.

Syntax’s solutions lay the foundation for the next generation of sector diversification products, which are more adaptive, risk-aware, customizable, and closely aligned with the actual dynamics of the modern economy. As investor demands and market structures evolve, Syntax’s innovations are likely to encourage new indices and ETFs that move beyond legacy constraints and deliver smarter, more resilient exposure to the breadth of the global equity universe.
