Deutsche Borse launches new ShortDAX and LevDAX indices

April 8, 2015--Deutsche Börse today expanded its DAXplus strategy index offering with the launch of four new ShortDAX and LevDAX indices. The ShortDAX x9 and x10 indices and LevDAX x9 and x10 indices meet the needs of sophisticated market participants, based on different evaluations of market conditions, who are seeking access to leveraged investments in the DAX when prices rise or fall.

As with the existing ShortDAX indices, the new ShortDAX x9 and ShortDAX x10 indices allow investors to participate in the performance of falling share prices. The performance of each index is directly inverse to the performance of the DAX depending on its leverage factor, which is reflected by the "x" in the index name. For example, when the DAX falls by 5%, the ShortDAX x9 rises by 45%, and vice versa.
