Transparent, rules-based design — Bloomberg Indices are produced using rules-based methodologies that provide clear guidelines for construction, eligibility, corporate action treatment, rebalances and segmentation. Bloomberg’s robust proprietary data and index portfolio construction capabilities provide the ability to tailor exposures and target themes based on clearly defined rules and criteria. We know this transparency is of the utmost importance, particularly as markets evolve and ESG mandates continue to expand.
Highly customizable — We offer a broad and evolving suite of unbiased index products, including custom datasets, factors and styles, from which investors can select or customize
the best benchmark for their needs. In addition to our flagship indices, Bloomberg publishes thousands of bespoke benchmarks and actively works with index users in a consultative manner on benchmark design, incorporation of proprietary ESG ratings, methodology development, backtesting, selection and documentation of their custom indices.
Replicable construction — Bloomberg Indices are designed to be replicable for investors
and product issuers, allowing for closer tracking to the benchmark and easier trading and management of portfolios against the index families.
Broad distribution — Bloomberg Indices are broadly distributed and are also available
on the Bloomberg Terminal and BloombergIndices.com.
