The Global 1200 includes companies in all ten GICS sectors. The largest sector, in terms of weight and number of companies, is financials. Other top sectors represented are consumer discretionary, health care, and information technology. Among the smallest are utilities, materials, telecommunication services, and energy.

Subset

S&P also has the "S&P International 700", which is the S&P Global 1200 minus the S&P 500.[1]
