JP Morgan Index Types |
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
JP Morgan selects its index from all government bonds worldwide, excluding floating rate notes, perpetuals, bonds targeted at the domestic market for tax purposes and bonds with less than one year remaining to maturity. JP Morgan also establishes liquidity guidelines for index constituents, so that there is no price bias related to infrequently traded issues - the Government Bond Index reflects the performance of actively traded issues.
