The IPOX® ETFs
Discover the IPOX® Indexes underpinning 5-Star ETFs
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to classify New Listings such as IPOs (Initial Public Offerings), Spin-offs and respective M&As as a distinct equity sector for a substantial period of time in aftermarket trading. As a consequence of the limited information available to gauge the risk of a New Listing ahead of its “going public” event, New Listings may possess distinctive return dynamics once trading, such as underpricing, short-run over-performance, a highly skewed long-run return distribution and significant return differences when measuring returns of sub-groups of companies.
At the same time, our objective is to construct portfolios that track the performance of New Listings – often a pure proxy for economic growth and innovation – within a consistent, objective, scalable, and stable portfolio construction technology that adheres to IPOX®’s philosophy and minimizes turnover and structural risk in order to provide exposure to a unique group of equities with limited overlap to incumbent equities.
The IPOX® Indexes provide an alternative way to make size, style and sector decisions in global equities and gauge the strength of equities in the regional markets. The IPOX® Indexes are used as the basis for Financial Products including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Futures, Mutual Funds, Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) and Structured Products.
