MTS: AL VIA EUROMTS INVESTMENT GRADE
BROAD INDEX
MTS annuncia il lancio di EuroMTS Investment Grade Broad Index, composto di
obbligazioni in euro emessi da Stati sovrani dell’ eurozona con un rating “investment
grade” da parte di almeno due agenzie primarie di rating.
L’ EuroMTS Investment Grade Broad Index comprende un indice all-maturity e otto indici
secondari. I nuovi indici sono stati realizzati per rispondere alle richieste del mercato e
forniscono un benchmark per gli investitori che gestiscono portafogli con specifici requisiti
di rischio di credito.
Questi nuovi indici utilizzano i medesimi principi di trasparenza, negoziabilità ed
indipendenza che contraddistinguono gli indici EuroMTS e rappresentano una base
ideale per la creazione di strumenti di replica come gli exchange traded funds.
Jack Jeffery, Chief Executive di MTS ha detto: “Con la creazione di questi indici su
obbligazioni investment grade, in risposta alle richieste degli investitori, MTS amplia la
varietà e flessibilità della gamma degli indici EuroMTS. Con più di 400 miliardi di euro in
fondi indicizzati e 29 ETFs in replica, gli indici EuroMTS rappresentano uno standard per
molti investitori in bond sovrani dell’area euro. In particolare, i fondi continuano ad
investire in ETF che replicano i sottostanti mercati sovrani ed MTS continuerà ad
aggiornare la propria gamma di indici per agevolare questa crescita.”
I valori della famiglia degli indici EuroMTS Broad Investment Grade Government sono
calcolati e pubblicati in tempo reale dalle 9:00 alle 17:30 CET, con fixing giornaliero alle
11:00 CET e 17:30 CET.
