Global Multi-Asset Series
The New Frontier Global Multi-Asset Series is a family of six systematic-risk-level optimized global indices, reflecting the 16-year history of our investment mandates as calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices. Index construction and management is based on the multi-patented Michaud optimizer and investment management technologies. The series tracks all investment activity of our global multi-asset portfolios, launched in October 2004, and provides long-term investors with a range of benchmarks to compare the performance of institutional-quality global risk-managed core portfolios.
The indices reflect six levels of systematic equity risk along the Michaud Efficient Frontier. Each index represents a risk-targeted global portfolio consisting of well-diversified, high-quality, low-cost, tax-efficient ETFs. The indices include institutional-quality equity, commodity, and fixed income ETFs that meet New Frontier’s asset class, quality, and diversification risk standards.
The indices allow real-time tracking on Bloomberg, the S&P and New Frontier websites, smartphones’ “Stocks” apps, as well as on wearable devices.
