Revere Aligns With Russell to Launch Geographic Exposure Indexes
Global Index Provider Aligns With Revere Data to Introduce New Indexes Allowing Investors to Gain Exposure to Emerging Markets Through Developed Market Companies
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/12 -- Russell Indexes, a global index provider, and Revere Data, LLC, the industry leader in sector classification systems, supply chain relationships, and revenues by geography data, have aligned to develop the Russell Geographic Exposure ("GeoExposure") Index Series in response to growing demand for emerging market exposure.
Based on Revere GeoRev™, a comprehensive database that captures and normalizes companies' global geographic revenue exposure, the new index methodology identifies developed market companies with significant exposure to some of the world's fastest growing economies.
The GeoExposure Series initially consists of four indexes based on Russell Global Indexes:
Russell 1000® Emerging Markets GeoExposure Index
Russell Developed Large Cap Emerging Markets GeoExposure Index
Russell Developed Europe Large Cap Emerging Markets GeoExposure Index
Russell Developed ex-North America Large Cap Emerging Markets GeoExposure Index
"Revere is pleased to work with Russell on this important index innovation," said Kevin O'Brien, CEO of Revere, "particularly in a time when emerging markets exposure is becoming a more important factor in investment diversification and performance."
"Where a company is headquartered is no longer the primary factor in how it makes money. Many of today's large multinational corporations have diverse geographic revenue streams," said Tom Goodwin, Russell Indexes senior research director. "By more accurately identifying what percentage of developed market company revenue comes from emerging markets and assembling an index based on this exposure, we offer an efficient way to access emerging market opportunities."
Revere has been researching, standardizing and analyzing companies' geographic revenue exposure for the last 10 years and currently covers 40,000 companies traded on over 35 global exchanges. By solving the problem of non-uniformed disclosure by companies, Revere GeoRev™ adds an important fundamental dataset to capital market research and index creation.
