FTSE Russell today launched the FTSE Multi-Asset Composite Index Series. The new series is designed to provide broad measures of cross-asset market performance across a diverse selection of global regions and risk exposures. Drawing on FTSE Russell’s family of leading equity and fixed income global benchmarks, the series includes a wide range of indexes across major asset classes covering global, regional and Emerging markets including the US, Europe and China.
FTSE Russell developed this new index series in response to clients who invest across asset classes and are looking for ways to measure this multi-asset performance in a consistent and accurate way. The new Series is overseen by FTSE Russell’s transparent global index governance framework and is fully customizable on request. Market participants can choose the equity to fixed income asset allocation (i.e., 80/20, 60/40, 50/50, 30/70) to fit their strategy and can further customize in many ways including by asset classes, weightings, currencies, countries, sectors and hedging.
Scott Harman – Managing Director, Global Product Management, FTSE Russell, said:
“This represents another important step in FTSE Russell’s continued expansion of our global multi-asset capabilities and follows the recent introduction of a country classification framework for fixed income and the launch of the FTSE Market Based Allocation Index Series. We’re excited to be able to continue to combine our extensive index capabilities across equity and fixed income in new and unique ways to meet the needs of our clients. The new index series bridges a gap in the investment community and will establish a new industry standard for defining risk tolerance levels and benchmarking asset allocation investment strategies.”
