Thomson Reuters Expands Index Series with Western Eurozone Mid & Small Cap Total Return Index
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Asset and investment managers now have a total return index that only includes
small and mid-cap companies enabling them to more accurately measure the sector
and make better informed decisions
NEW YORK/LONDON, December 14, 2016 - Thomson Reuters has expanded its index
series by providing a total return index that includes only companies that are
classified small and mid cap. The Thomson Reuters Western Eurozone Mid & Small
Cap Total Return Index is market capitalization weighted and is designed to
include only companies that can be genuinely considered small and mid cap, due
to market cap being the primary selection screen and free-float the second
criteria. This selection methodology limits the number of components to around
300 to make the index tradeable. Thomson Reuters worked closely with a group of
asset managers who provided input to the definition of small and mid cap for the
index to ensure a robust methodology.
The Thomson Reuters Western Eurozone Mid & Small Cap Total Return Index can be
licensed by ETF providers and used as a benchmark or as a research tool by asset
and investment managers seeking a convenient and transparent view into the small
and mid-cap sector. The index limits the number of components to around 300
helping to further define its small and mid-cap universe and contributes to its
appeal as a tradeable index. It is not just a sub-index of the Thomson Reuters
Global Equity Index series, but has a different selection and weighting criteria
to achieve its very specific objective. The calculation methodology and
treatment of corporate actions remains the same as the Thomson Reuters Equity
Indices.
"Asset and investment managers are constantly searching for pockets of
investment opportunity within specific sectors of the market," said Stephan
Flagel, Head of Benchmarks and Indices at Thomson Reuters. "As a leading
provider of indices, we are keen to work with investment professionals to
provide differentiated content and solutions as we show in the form of the
Thomson Reuters Western Eurozone Mid & Small Cap Total Return Index which

deliver greater value to their clients."
