In selecting constituents for the underlying index, trailing daily price changes over the past 12 months is used to calculate the S&P 500 constituents betas. Such constituents are then ranked in descending order of their betas wherein the top 100 securities finally form the index.

While SPHB doesn't look much like the broad US large-cap space, it fulfills its high-beta mandate.
