Market Consultation on the Solactive Correction Policy

Frankfurt, 29 July 2016 – Solactive AG is one of the key players in the indexing space. Focusing on tailor-made indices, the German multi asset class provider is developing, calculating and distributing them worldwide. Solactive has decided to conduct a Market Consultation with regard to its Correction Policy. All stakeholders and interested third parties are invited to provide input and feedback to the proposed Policy. Solactive welcomes all contributions and thoroughly assesses all responses received. The overarching aim is to maintain a Correction Policy which takes the particular insights of Solactive’s clients into account and which is applicable in an wide set of possible situations.

I. Background

Solactive provides and calculates indices which meet the highest standards within the indexing industry. Nevertheless, and due to regulatory requirements, Solactive has procedures in place to deal with potential errors in index values, both due to external and internal factors. These generic measures are documented in an internal Correction Policy and are generally applied in all relevant situations.

II. Procedure

Stakeholders and third parties, who are interested in participating in this Market Consultation, are invited to request a digital copy of our proposed Correction Policy. We will consider all responses submitted until 31 August 2016.

Please note the initial submission deadline was 12 August 2016. Now it has be extended until the date stated above.
