BBVA designs QIS for capital protection

BBVA has introduced the systematic multi-asset regional trend (Smart) index, a long-only, rules-based dynamic strategy, for which S&P Dow Jones Indices is the calculating agent. The index offers a diversified combination of asset classes across several geographies. The QIS index is a sophisticated product that in the past would have only been available as a hedge fund strategy, but now we can offer this kind of exposure with 100% capital protection -  Nathalie Rouault, BBVA
