MSR Japanese Equities – Exposure, Dollar Weighted Index
The MSR Japanese Equities Dollar Weighted Exposure Index shows the total return of being long one NIKKEI 225 (Dollar Denominated) futures contract (the “current” contract, which is the most liquid) through time. This is “dollar weighted” because an investor can simply divide the number of dollars they want to invest by the current dollar value of the NIKKEI 225 (Dollar Denominated) contract and own that number of contracts for perpetuity. The “cash equivalent” version of this index will track the total return of the NIKKEI 225 (Dollar Denominated) cash market index including dividends (which are by definition reinvested into the NIKKEI 225 (Dollar Denominated) automatically when you invest via futures).
