Bloomberg Multi-Asset Indices
Multi-asset indices, one data provider
Bloomberg has long been a leading solution provider in cross-asset strategy index research, and we’ve expanded our index product suite to address investor demand for a centralized multi-asset index suite with products that can be formally benchmarked as the investing strategy continues to gain momentum. Flagship indices include the Bloomberg Multi-Asset Indices and the Bloomberg GSAM Risk Premia Indices.
Bloomberg Multi-Asset indices
The Bloomberg Multi-Asset Indices are designed to provide broad measures of cross-asset market performance across the globe. These multi-asset benchmarks are comprised of Bloomberg Indices across major asset classes, with each index constructed as a composite of at least one fixed-income index and one equity index; at the same time, they can use custom datasets to construct entirely new indices.
