Malhotra3 Advances in computer and telecommunications technology have contributed to the emergence of more integrated global financial markets, allowing for the dissemination of information and the execution of transactions on a real-time basis around the clock and around the globe. To determine if an investor can gain additional diversification benefits by investing in today’s increasingly integrated global financial markets, returns on four different indexes—Standard & Poor’s Composite 500 (S&P 500); Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index; Europe, Australia, and Far East (EAFE) Index; and the MSCI Europe Index—are analyzed for a 22-year period, from 1978 to 2000. Although the benefits from international diversification are decreasing, an investor is better off investing a portion of his or her portfolio in international markets, especially the European markets.

    Why Switzerland? Marwan Naja, AS Investment Management January, 2010 I. Executive Summary Swiss Equities Have Outperformed: Here is a fact you probably did not know: The Swiss equity market has arguably been the best performing developed world market over the past 20, 10, 5 and 2 years. The SPI Index, which incorporates over 200 Swiss stocks, is the best performing index in Swiss Franc (“CHF”), US Dollars (“USD”), Euro (“EUR”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) over the past 20 years1,10 years, 5 years, and 2 years when compared to similar broad-based total return indices in the United States (S&P 500 Total Return), the United Kingdom (FTSE 350 Total Return), Germany (CDAX), France (SBF 120 Total Return) and Japan (TOPIX Total Return)2. For most of these periods the magnitude of the outperformance is significant. Furthermore, the Swiss market has exhibited attractive risk characteristics including lower volatility than comparable markets. Figure 1: SPI 20 Year Performance (red) Compared to Major Developed Indices in CHF3 1 The 20 year comparable excludes the EUR which has not existed for that duration and the French SBF 120 TR which was established in 1990 and has underperformed the SPI over the 19 year period. 2 The Swiss market is the best performer in our local currency comparison (stripping out the foreign exchange effects) over 20 years and marginally trails the FTSE 350 for the 10 year, 5 year and 2 year comparisons. 3 Source of all graphs is Bloomberg unless otherwise indicated.

  • Appendix D to Tradition SEF Rulebook Equities Product Listing
    Appendix D to Tradition SEF Rulebook Equities Product Listing Broad-Market Equity Index Swap Product Listing Tradition SEF, Inc. I. Discussion of contracts; not readily susceptible to manipulation • Index Selection: Tradition SEF limits the indexes underlying its equity index swap offerings to well-established, publicly available third-party equity index market benchmarks. Tradition SEF believes that the size and liquidity of the cash market that underlies these indexes creates in each case a deliverable supply of underlying securities and volume of trading that would not make them easily susceptible to manipulation. Furthermore, Tradition SEF believes that the large number of participants in each market, and the calculation of each index being based on actual transaction data from major stock markets further limit the susceptibility of manipulation of these indexes. The broad-based equity indexes underlying swaps on Tradition SEF are the timeliest, recognized and reliable benchmarks for equity prices in their respective markets. The index levels are readily available and commercially acceptable as benchmarks for investors, portfolio managers and public policy makers. Tradition SEF believes that such benchmark indexes, which also underlie liquid index futures contracts on major Designated Contract Markets, and equity index exchange traded funds on stock exchanges, due to the large number of index members, ubiquity, and broad-market nature are not readily susceptible to manipulation. Furthermore, the associated index futures contracts and exchange traded funds offer a deep liquidity pool to hedge and risk-manage swaps based on such indexes’ index. Swap Contract Specifications: A discussion of Variance and Volatility Swaps: Equity Index Variance and volatility swaps pay out on the degree of stock price fluctuation, not the absolute level or direction of the underlying index.
