Nissay Asset Management Launches Nissay S Europe Equity Index Fund Tracking the Solactive Europe 500 Select Index
Solactive is pleased to announce its latest collaboration with Nissay Asset Management. The forthcoming Nissay S Europe Equity Index Fund, which tracks the Solactive Europe 500 Select Index, aims to provide Japanese investors with efficient access to Europe’s leading companies across industries such as finance, healthcare, consumer goods, and industrials.
European equities are rallying on the back of solid economic momentum, favorable monetary and fiscal policy, attractive valuations, strategic sector advantages and improving geopolitical sentiment. This combination presents a compelling case for sustained investor interest in the region. The Solactive GBS Germany Large & Mid Cap Index has been a standout performer, surging over 20% year-to-date. This reflects growing investor confidence, driven by factors such as relative valuation appeal compared to the U.S. market and a cyclical economic upturn.
The Solactive Europe 500 Select Index is designed to capture the performance of the largest 500 companies by free-float market capitalization within the Solactive Europe 600 Index. Constituents are selected using a transparent, rules-based methodology that prioritizes market capitalization while ensuring broad representation across countries and sectors. The index is free-float market-cap weighted and rebalanced quarterly to reflect market developments.
The Nissay S Europe Equity Index Fund was launched on the 10th September.
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, commented: “We are deeply honored to continue our collaboration with Nissay Asset Management and greatly appreciate the trust and confidence they have placed in us. With sincere appreciation, we remain fully committed to providing solutions that support Japanese investors in achieving their goals. We sincerely look forward to strengthening this partnership and contributing meaningfully to the Japanese investment community.”
Nissay Asset Management commented: “We are delighted to announce our collaboration with Solactive, which allows us the opportunity to launch the fourth Nissay-S series index fund in Japan. We firmly believe that this particular fund will prove beneficial as an integral part of investors’ portfolio construction. Moving forward, we maintain our dedication towards the development of products that strongly support individual investors’ wealth creation.”
