MV Index Solutions Launches MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure IndexMV Index Solutions (MVIS) today launched the MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index (Ticker: MVEINC). The index expands the portfolio of MVIS' hard asset indices, all of which are licensed to underlie exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with approximately USD 6.95 billion assets under management invested, as of October 14, 2019. MVEINC is a rules-based, modified capitalization weighted, float adjusted index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of North American companies involved in the midstream energy segment, which includes MLPs and corporations involved in oil and gas pipelines, storage facilities, and other activities associated with transporting, storing, and gathering natural gas liquids, crude oil or refined products. "The MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index complements our range of indices in the oil sector, which already covers unconventional oil production, oil services and refining," said Thomas Kettner, Managing Director at MV Index Solutions. "It also follows the high indexquality standards which are applied to all MVIS Indices leading to pure-play exposure and liquid, investable and well-diversified indices." There are three distinct versions of the MVIS North America Energy Infrastructure Index currently available, with each weighted by free float market capitalisation and calculated in U.S.Dollar as a price, a total return net, and a total return gross index, respectively. Capping factors are applied to avoid overweighting of single index companies and MLP exposure. The index is reconstituted semi-annually and rebalanced quarterly. Detailed information about the MVIS North American Energy Infrastructure Index including methodology details and index data are available on MV Index Solutions website.
