Abstract
⺠We compare four broadly available industry classification schemes. ⺠We analyze the ability of each scheme to group stocks with similar operating characteristics. ⺠The Global Industry Classification System is superior to other industry classifications. ⺠Monte Carlo simulations support the results across different application schemes.
