Rationale for Methodology Change

Solactive has determined that the current requirement in the relevant guidelines to select a successor stock in case of delisting of a newly determined index component between the Selection and Rebalance Day is inconsistent with Solactive Global Benchmark Series (GBS) practice. Furthermore, the rule exposes the indices’ clients to having to adjust their portfolio trading activities in response to announcements of revised compositions by Solactive, which may arrive until the day of rebalance. The removal of this requirement would bring these indices in line with other GBS indices as well as protect clients from having to implement last-minute changes. 

Changes to the Index Guideline

The following Methodology change will be implemented in the following point of the Index Guideline (ordered in accordance with the numbering of the affected sections):

3.1. Ordinary Rebalance

From (old version):

“…Moreover, if a newly determined Index Component is delisted, a successor will be determined based on the rules in Section 2.1 and 2.2; consequently, the member count will be ………..after the respective Rebalance Day.”

To (new version):

“…..”

We are removing the aforementioned rule completely from the relevant guidelines.

Defined terms used in this announcement, but not defined herein, have the meaning assigned to them in the respective index guideline of the Affected Indices. The amended version of the index guideline will be available on the effective date.
