At the beginning of 2016, the Solactive<br \/>\nEuro IG Corporate Index capturing the performance of investment grade corporate<br \/>\nbonds issued in EUR was launched. This was followed by the introduction in 2017 of<br \/>\nthe Solactive Euro HY Corporate Index and the Solactive USD High Yield Corporate<br \/>\nIndex, each providing a snapshot of non-investment grade bond markets denominated<br \/>\nin EUR and USD respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can use the series of Solactive benchmarks as cost-efficient indices to<br \/>\nevaluate the performance of segments of the fixed-income market. In addition,<br \/>\nbenchmarks can constitute the starting universe on which to build smart beta and<br \/>\nmore niche strategies. Alternatively, they can be used as foundations of index-linked<br \/>\ninvestment products such as ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>Steffen Scheuble, CEO Solactive AG, commented:<em> \u201cIn the last two years we have<br \/>\ndedicated a lot of effort to expand our family of branded benchmarks both on the<br \/>\nequity and fixed-income side following increased customer demand. With the Solactive<br \/>\nUSD Investment Grade Corporate Index, together with the Solactive USD High Yield<br \/>\nCorporate Index, we are finally completing coverage of the USD-denominated<br \/>\ncorporate bond market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Solactive USD Investment Grade Corporate Index is composed of 5,000 corporate<br \/>\ndebt issues denominated in USD from both developed and developing markets with an<br \/>\namount outstanding of at least USD 400 million and a remaining time to maturity of at<br \/>\nleast 18 months. The index is calculated as a total return index and is rebalanced<br \/>\nmonthly. All index components must have a rating that is investment grade.
