Euronext, a subsidiary of NYSE Euronext, has expanded its offering with the launch of a new serie of strategy indices to give investors more trading choices. The three new strategies, Leverage, Short and XBear are now available on the AEX, BEL 20, CAC 40 and PSI 20 from 21 December 2007.

Leverage indices track the performance of a strategy which doubles exposure to an underlying index with the support of short-term financing. In situations where the market is rising, they enable investors to earn a positive return, double that of the underlying index.
Short indices track the performance of a strategy which reverses exposure to the underlying index by combining a short position on the underlying index and exposure to a risk-free money-market instrument. When the market is falling, they offer a return that is positive and the inverse of the decline in the underlying index.
XBear indices track the performance of a strategy similar to that of Short indices with double inverse exposure to changes in the underlying index.

These new indices serie reflects Euronext's commitment to providing investors, fund managers and issuers of structured products effective tools to meet their needs and keep pace with market developments.

The new indices have been calculated and disseminated from 21 December 2007. The calculation initially took place once a day after the close. From 21st April, 2008 the calculation and dissemination have been made continuously throughout the trading day. From 31 December 2002 each index has a base value of 1,000, and historical data are also available from that date.
