Methodology change | Solactive India Quality Select Index | Effective Date 16/09/2019

Today, on the 12/09/2019, Solactive announces the following changes to the methodology of the following indices (the ‘Affected Indices’):

Rationale for methodology change

Solactive has determined that the current calculation times (9:00 a.m. to 10:50 p.m., CET) of the Affected Indices lead to an unnecessary delay of the delivery of index files. Hence the current calculation times are changed to 01:00 a.m. until 17:00 p.m.CET. This change does not affect the level of the index and only ensures that files can be delivered at an earlier time.

Changes to the Index Guideline

The following changes are made in wording of  section 1.4:

“The Index is calculated every Business Day from 01:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m., CET.

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.
