Solactive and Panthera Solutions are launching the Solactive Panthera World Market Portfolio Index. This index seeks to replicate the global market portfolio as measured by Monaco-based asset allocation consultancy Panthera Solutions through a multi-asset indexing strategy.

Solactive and B-BRE are excited to announce the launch of the Solactive – B-BRE Tel Aviv 125 Low Volatility High Dividends Index, used as the underlying index for a new IBI fund trading on the Tel Aviv stock exchange.

The index targets investors interested in a smart beta concept that puts more emphasis on the role played by free cash flow yield, aside from tilting composition towards high dividend and low volatility shares. Specifically, free cash flows are typically used to provide an insight into a company's financial health.

Solactive is happy to announce the release of the Solactive USD Investment Grade Corporate Index mirroring the performance of USD-denominated investment grade corporate bonds.

The Global ETF/ETP industry had 6,835 ETFs/ETPs, with 12,892 listings, assets of US$4.002 trillion, from 313 providers listed on 68 exchanges in 56 countries at the end of April 2017, according to preliminary data from ETFGI's April 2017 report.
