The new launch consists of a<br \/>\nsmart beta concept incorporating high dividend yield shares that also exhibit low<br \/>\nhistorical volatility from Asia, Europe and the US. The index is licensed to Credit<br \/>\nSuisse and can be used as a basis for investment products such as ETFs or<br \/>\nderivative instruments.<\/p>\n<p>The index is composed of a total of 75 shares, 25 per geographic region. Shares<br \/>\nare selected by choosing the top securities ranked by realized dividend yield for<br \/>\nevery region and applying a historical volatility filter, whereby only the least<br \/>\nvolatile shares make it to the final index composition. In addition, the<br \/>\nconstruction rules require that the region with the highest performance in terms<br \/>\nof weighted returns, is assigned an index weight of 50%, while the other regions<br \/>\nare allocated a weight of 25%, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>Astrid Ludwig, Head of Indexing, Solactive AG, commented:<em> \u201cAsia, Europe and<br \/>\nthe US are home to the most important financial centres in the world. The depth<br \/>\nand liquidity characterising some capital markets in these regions represent an<br \/>\ninvaluable resource for investors. The Solactive SuperRegion Select Index can<br \/>\nprovide investors with the possibility of taking advantage of potential regional<br \/>\nmomentum trends, while seeking to avoid geographical concentration.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Julien Bieren, Head of Equity Structuring EMEA, Credit Suisse: <em>\u201cInvestors have<br \/>\nshown a clear interest in strategies offering them not only a globally diversified<br \/>\nexposure, but also the real possibility of outperforming a static portfolio. The<br \/>\nSolactive SuperRegion Select Index applies a straightforward allocation<br \/>\nmethodology overweighting the best-performing region, whilst reducing the cost<br \/>\nof downside protection via a low volatility tilt. The index is therefore particularly<br \/>\nsuited for those investors looking for medium to long-term equity exposure, with<br \/>\nthe additional benefits of dynamic regional allocation and potentially capital<br \/>\nprotection.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Solactive SuperRegion Select Index is available as a Price Return (PR) index<br \/>\ndenominated in EUR. The 75 composing shares are weighted according to the<br \/>\ninverse of the 12-month historical volatility.
