MSR US 30yr Treasury – Exposure, Dollar Weighted Index
The MSR US 30yr Treasury Dollar Weighted Exposure Index shows the total return of being long one 30YR US TREASURY BOND 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 30YR US TREASURY BOND contract and own that number of contracts for perpetuity. The “cash equivalent” version of this index will simulate the total return an investor could receive from a long position in actual US Treasury Bonds (including interest) with a rolling maturity of greater than 15 years.
