S&P Indices today extended the range of its High Beta family of indices with the launch of the S&P BMI International Developed High Beta Index and the S&P BMI Emerging Markets High Beta Index.
The Indices measure the performance of 200 stocks in their respective markets most sensitive to changes in market returns. They are designed to serve as benchmarks for investors who wish to take advantage of market volatility by employing a bullish strategic or tactical view of companies. Constituents are weighted relative to their level of market sensitivity, with the most sensitive stocks receiving the highest weights. The Indices, which use the same methodology as the widely followed S&P 500 High Beta Index, have been licensed to Invesco PowerShares which is anticipating launching ETFs based on them.
Alka Banerjee, Vice President of Strategy and Global Equity Indices at S&P Indices, said: “Using a methodology which is simple and transparent, the S&P International Developed and Emerging Markets High Beta Indices are designed to show the performance of stocks culled from their respective benchmarks that are most sensitive to changes in market returns.”
