The changes announced today are a result of a regular review and are based on an already existing methodology for the Dow Jones TRAC-X indexes. Dow Jones Indexes expects these rules to be reviewed after an advisory committee comprised of TRAC-X market makers and other experts is put together that will advise on methodology, rebalancing and other related topics for the Dow Jones TRAC-X Indexes, however, Dow Jones Indexes will remain the ultimate decision-maker. Having the participation of the leading credit derivatives participants will ensure that the Dow Jones TRAC-X Indexes remain as transparent and liquid as possible while also providing the clients who use them with the most efficient and effective way to manage and trade credit risk.
The major regional Dow Jones TRAC-X Indexes that have launched to date include: Dow Jones TRAC-X Europe, Dow Jones TRAC-X NA (North America), Dow Jones TRAC-X NA High Yield, Dow Jones TRAC-X Japan, Dow Jones TRAC-X Australia, Dow Jones TRAC-X EM (Emerging Markets) and Dow Jones TRAC-X Asia.
To ensure transparency in the selection process and review, for the first time a complete selection list of the reconstituted Dow Jones TRAC-X indexes can be found on the Dow Jones Indexes website (www.djindexes.com).
Company additions to and deletions from the Dow Jones TRAC-X Europe Index do not in any way reflect an opinion on the investment merits of the company.
