Rationale for methodology change
Solactive has determined to replace the existing Underlying Index by a new Underlying Index, in order to align the Affected Index with a more accurate strategy in terms of forex valuation, to reflect a closer behavior as per market’s standards, and to be in line our latest Methodology Change.
The new Underlying Index is valuated using WM 4:00 PM London time Forex Fixing, which aligns with our previous announcement where we amended the Affected Index to be valued with the same Forex Fixing (WM 4:00 PM London time).
