NASDAQ OMX Partners with Accretive Asset Management on BulletShare Corporate Bond Indexes Updated: 6/17/2013

NASDAQ OMX and Accretive Asset Management have partnered to co-brand the innovative BulletShares® Corporate Bond Index family and work jointly to promote these indexes around the world.

The BulletShares Corporate Bond Indexes are the world’s first target-maturity corporate bond indexes. Now called “NASDAQ BulletShares Indexes,” these benchmarks represent the performance of an investment in a diversified, held-to-maturity portfolio of fixed income securities with a common year of maturity. Accretive Asset Management developed the methodology in 2009 with the objective of combining the benefits of individual bonds and bond funds.

NASDAQ BulletShares Corporate Bond Indexes offer a precise way to get the benefit of individual bonds combined with the benefit of funds. Instead of a single bond, these indexes offer exposure to a broad range of investment-grade corporate bonds, which allows for a more diversified approach. Read more about the benefits.

We’re excited to add this family to our fixed income portfolio and offer our customers a broader selection of innovative index solutions. Stay tuned for additional research and announcements!
