Bear, Stearns International Limited has introduced its latest structured equity product “SELEQT”.
The investment rationale behind the SELEQT strategy is to invest in companies that are strong financially and have a policy of paying out profits to shareholders. The “SELEQT Europe 20 Index” is a new dynamic, research driven index of 20 European shares selected from a wide universe of European Stocks.
“Bear Stearns has the capacity and expertise to provide clients with a range of innovative and alpha-generating strategies. SELEQT is an intuitive, systematic and transparent long-only dynamic strategy. The SELEQT Europe 20 combines high dividend yield with corporate strength in equal weights, in order to create an index that performs consistently well over the course of the investment cycle,” says Leonardo Giangreco, co-head of Equity Sales in London.
The SELEQT strategy has been packaged into a custom index calculated and disseminated by Standard & Poor’s via Bloomberg and Reuters.
Bear Stearns’ structured equity products include: ‘PACER’, a Portfolio Allocation between Commodities and Equities designed to provide positive Returns through bull and bear market cycles; and Bear Stearns’ structured product ‘ISIS’ which is designed to outperform the Euro Zone equity markets.
