The IPD Index guide is designed to provide index users and prospective users with all the information they need to know about IPD’s indices, covering the index universe, the construction methodology and calculation process, the index review procedure, and the calculation timetable for each index.
This third edition of the guide remains essentially unchanged from the July 2007 publication. However, a major new set of Appendices has been added, comprising a full Index Factsheet for each of the IPD National Market Indices which has either been licensed for derivatives trading or has been seriously considered for that purpose.
