Lyxor Starts Fundamental Index Methodology ETFs

Société Générale subsidiary Lyxor Asset Management has launched four new exchange-traded funds that offer access to the Fundamental Index methodology, an alternative index methodology to traditional market-cap weighted indices. The new ETFs are tied to FTSE RAFI indices, which cover major sectors of the U.S., Europe, euro zone and Japan, and aim to beat traditional market-weighted indices that are less volatile.

The Europe, euro zone and Japan Lyxor RAFI ETFs are the first to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.
