The S&P GSCI® Dynamic Roll Index was launched for those investors seeking long only exposure to the commodity market but with the desire to reduce the potential negative impact of contango on roll returns. The launch of this Index was part of S&P Indices’ strategy of expanding its S&P GSCI offerings with innovative solutions that meet investor demand.
S&P Indices continued to provide investors with access to new markets in the Americas by working with the Mercado Integrado Latino Americano (MILA) to create the S&P MILA 40. The Index is designed to provide exposure to the largest and most liquid stocks trading on the MILA platform, an integrated trading venture formed by the Chile, Colombia and Peru stock exchanges. The S&P MILA 40 is an easily replicable snapshot of investable MILA, comprised of liquid, tradable securities.
“This award recognition is a symbol of S&P Indices’ long history of developing market leading, innovative index solutions,” says Alex Matturri, Executive Managing Director at S&P Indices. “Our success is due largely in part to S&P Indices close relationships with partners and clients to help develop solutions which meet the evolving needs of global investors.”
