Twenty-One Thousand New Indexes Provide Investors a Broad Representation of the
Global Investable Marketplace
NEW YORK, 2013-07-15 14:02 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced the introduction of
the second suite of the NASDAQ Global Index Family - resulting in the launch of
more than 21,000 new NASDAQ Global indexes.
The NASDAQ Global Index Family represents more than 98% of the global equity
investable marketplace and is now comprised of over 25,000 indexes. The family
consists of global securities broken down by market segment, region, country,
size and sector. The NASDAQ Global Index Family covers 9,000 securities with a
combined float-adjusted market capitalization of over $37 trillion.
The newly-unveiled NASDAQ Global indexes are calculated in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP,
JPY and local currencies. The first group of the NASDAQ Global Index Family,
launched in December 2012, is calculated in USD.
'The expansion of the NASDAQ Global Index Family into various currencies
underscores the arrival of our index business -- NASDAQ OMX Global Indexes -- as
a premier global index operation,' said NASDAQ OMX Executive Vice President
John Jacobs. 'We recognized the need for cost-effective benchmark alternatives
in multiple currencies, and now product sponsors, portfolio managers and other
market participants can more effectively gauge and manage currency exposure as
they track global equities.'
The index family covers 45 countries classified as Developed and Emerging
Markets across the following regions: the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and
Middle East-Africa. Like all NASDAQ OMX indexes, the NASDAQ Global Index Family
is based on a transparent, rules-based index methodology. Over ten years of
historical back-tested data is available for the entire global family. Price
return, total return and net total return versions are calculated for each
index.
With the NASDAQ Global Index Family, NASDAQ OMX Global Indexes now offers
benchmark families across multiple asset classes and geographies including the
NASDAQ Dividend and Income Family - featuring the NASDAQ Dividend Achievers(TM)
-, the NASDAQ Global Commodity Index Family, the NASDAQ OMX Green Economy
Family and the NASDAQ US All Market Index family.
