Frankfurt (September 30, 2011) – On September 30, 2011, 4asset-management launched the new Market Vectors Renminbi Bond Index (MVCHLC).

The Market Vectors Renminbi Bond Index is designed to track the performance of the Chinese Renminbi (RMB)-denominated bonds that are investable to market participants outside of Mainland China.

The index includes fixed-rate offshore RMB-denominated government bonds, quasi-government bonds, supranational bonds and corporate bonds.

Government bonds, quasi-government bond, supranational bonds and corporate bonds are included if the bonds or the parent company has at least one investment grade rating by one of Moody’s, S&P, Fitch or a local rating agency; and must not be rated “below investment grade” by any one of Moody’s, S&P, Fitch or a local rating agency and if the amount outstanding is greater than or equal to 750 million RMB.

The index is rebalanced monthly as of the close of business on the final trading day of each month. The Market Vectors Renminbi Bond Index is calculated as a total return index in USD and CNH.

MVCHLC has been licensed to Van Eck Global for use in forthcoming exchanged-traded funds.

The indices are calculated and maintained by Structured Solutions on behalf of 4asset-management GmbH.
