FTSE Group and Koris International (Koris) are to provide institutions with greater insight, information and education on FTSE, FTSE MTS and Russell Indices tracked by European listed Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
FTSE index data will be included within TrackInsight, an online European ETF analysis platform operated by Koris. TrackInsight’s users will benefit from more detailed information including index weighting methodology, historical index returns and exposures analysis, enabling quick and enhanced look-through on the inherent features of benchmark indices replicated by ETFs.
FTSE and Koris will also collaborate on a number of pan-European initiatives designed to help educate institutional investors on the various qualitative and quantitative dimensions of European ETFs.
Sudir Raju, Managing Director, ETP Relationship & ICB, FTSE, says: “We are pleased to announce our partnership with Koris. As one of the world’s largest ETF index providers, we recognise that knowledge and information are key to the continued development of this market. We are delighted to contribute to Koris’s platform which will increase transparency, facilitate analysis of ETFs and offer continued education on this rapidly evolving market.”
Jean-René Giraud, Co-Founder and CEO, Koris International, says: “This agreement represents a major step forward for the institutional investor community who have been calling for greater transparency and information on the indices associated with investment products. The Exchange-Traded Fund market continues to mature and develop in Europe and we look forward to working with FTSE on this important initiative.”
