Just one MVIS Long/Short Equity index positive in December

Related Topics

Just one of Market Vectors Index Solutions’ (MVIS) six investable Long/Short Equity Indices – the Market Vectors Global Long/Short Equity Index (0.11 per cent) – recorded positive performance in December.

The month’s biggest loser was the Market Vectors North America Long/Short Equity Index with a return of -1.05 per cent, followed by the Market Vectors Asia (Developed) Long/Short Equity Index (-0.77 per cent), the Market Vectors Global Event Long/Short Equity Index (-0.75 per cent), the Market Vectors Western Europe Long/Short Equity Index (-0.65 per cent), and the Market Vectors Emerging Markets Long/Short Equity Index
(-0.10 per cent).

Each index is constructed using transparent, liquid ETFs and US Treasury securities to produce hedge fund-style returns without hedge fund pricing, opaqueness and redemption restrictions.

With a history stretching back to 2003, the Market Vectors Long/Short Equity Indices use a patented methodology in seeking to capture the beta returns of universes of statistically similar hedge funds that exhibit in aggregate consistently high concentrations of beta. MVIS currently offers four regional and two global long/short equity strategies.
