These companies include brewers, distillers and vintners, manufacturers, distributors and packagers of food and beverage products, and companies that grow crops or raise livestock, operate fisheries or own nontobacco plantations. The 30 selected constituents are then ranked and weighted on three different factors: 1) strong growth, as exhibited by 3, 6, 9, and 12-month average price returns, 2) attractive value, evaluated by cash-flow-to-price, and 3) low volatility, based on historical price fluctuations.
