The > BSE and the S&P Dow Jones indices are now partners. Every index on the BSE, including the BSE Sensex, BSE 200 and BSE 100 will be co-branded ‘S&P’.
S&P Dow Jones Indices is a global leader in providing investable and benchmark indices to the financial markets.
With this, S&P can now calculate, disseminate and licence the whole suite of BSE’s indices.
India now becomes S&P Dow Jones Indices’ fourth major operational hub to support clients globally, after Hong Kong, London and New York.
“We expect our partnership with S&P Dow Jones Indices will help BSE to raise the growing global acceptance of the Sensex and other BSE index benchmarks, and to help BSE achieve a leadership position in the index derivatives space,” said Ashish Chauhan, MD and CEO of BSE.
“This partnership fortifies and expands BSE and S&P Dow Jones Indices’ presence in India and in South Asia, while providing a springboard for our efforts in the ASEAN region with an important exchange partner that understands this critical segment of the market,” said Alexander Matturri, Chief Executive Officer of S&P Dow Jones Indices.
