MTS, Europe’s premier facilitator for the electronic fixed income market, today announces the launch of the MTS Slovenia Government Index, the first real-time, independent index of Euro-denominated bonds issued by the government of the Republic of Slovenia.
As a new addition to the EuroMTS Index family, the MTS Slovenia Government index offers transparency, tradability and independence, making it an ideal tool for the creation of tracking instruments such as exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Boštjan Plešec, Director General, Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Slovenia said: “We welcome MTS’s initiative in providing a real-time index dedicated to Slovenian government securities, satisfying investor demand for an independent market benchmark.“
Jack Jeffery, Chief Executive of MTS, said: “Launched in response to demand from market participants, this new index gives investors a specific portfolio management tool and further broadens our EuroMTS Index range, which is already tracked by 30 ETFs. We’re committed to continuing to play a leading role in the European fixed income space as it evolves, and look forward to announcing other new and exciting developments across our businesses.”
The MTS Slovenia Government Index is calculated and published in real-time from 9:00 to 17:30 CET, with daily snapshots at 11:00 CET and 17:30 CET.
