Drawing upon its vast resources and renowned brand identity as the platform for the world's most pioneering companies, Nasdaq persistently transcends boundaries within the index sector. At the vanguard of Nasdaq's suite of index products is the Nasdaq-100 Index®, globally esteemed for its representation of contemporary industrial leaders. This benchmark has consistently demonstrated superior performance relative to other U.S. benchmarks, drawing investors desiring exposure to the most avant-garde growth and technology stocks featured on Nasdaq.
Nasdaq's extraordinary accomplishments are founded upon its unwavering commitment to comprehending and catering to the market's evolving needs. In alignment with this dedication, Nasdaq has entered into a strategic collaboration with Salt Financial to introduce a collection of Nasdaq-100 Volatility Control™ Indexes. These bespoke indexes are designed to empower investors by enabling them to regulate their exposure to market volatility, whilst simultaneously reaping the rewards associated with the esteemed Nasdaq-100 Total Return™ Index (XNDX™). Each index pursues a predetermined annualized volatility target of 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, and 15%, respectively, thereby facilitating investors in harmonizing their investment aspirations with their risk appetite.
In this context, insurance carriers may find these Volatility Control Indexes particularly compelling, as they offer a tailored approach to managing investment risk exposure, aligning with the carriers' need for balanced and controlled investment strategies in their portfolio management endeavors.
