STOXX Limited, a leading provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced that the company has been named “Most Innovative Provider in Europe” in www.StructuredRetailProducts.com’s 2014 European Structured Products Awards, and took three accolades including “Best Index Provider”, “Most Innovative Index Provider” and “Most Responsive Index Provider”. Award winners were chosen based on votes cast by over 500 members of Europe’s structured products community.
“Since the votes for the 2014 European Structured Products Awards were solely cast by members of the structured products industry, it is a great honor for STOXX to be recognized as Most Innovative Index Provider in Europe,” said Hartmut Graf, chief executive officer, STOXX Limited. “Recently launched index innovations include the STOXX GC Pooling Indices which provide a representation of secured euro funding transactions taking place on the Eurex Repo GC Pooling Market and can thus be seen as transparent, rules-based alternatives to unsecured interbank benchmarks such as LIBOR and EURIBOR/EONIA; as well as the STOXX Global 3D Printing Indices which represents companies that generate revenues directly from this growing sector, and finally the STOXX Strong Quality Indices which measure the performance of highly profitable companies that sell at attractive valuations when compared to their peers.”
