The indices are free float-adjusted and modified market cap-weighted with no single stock accounting for more than 8.0% of the index. Currently the weighted average market capitalisation of the indices’ constituents is $5.252 million.

A complete list of holdings is provided below. (all data as of October 14, 2009).

4asset-management has launched the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Price Return (ticker: MVGDXJ) and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Total Return (ticker: VEMVGDXJ) indices. The indices invest in small-capitalisation gold and silver mining companies listed in freely investable markets around the world. They are calculated real-time on the S-BOX platform.

Investor interest in junior mining companies has increased recently as gold spot prices continue to rise on the back of investor demand. In recent years, global gold production has declined as geology has made it tougher for established mines to continue to produce gold at rates needed to meet demand. Junior miners employ new geologic models to explore for and develop new sources of gold in old or overlooked properties making them an important segment of the mining industry as they have the potential to become the suppliers of incremental supply for larger operations or targets for acquisition.

It is designed to give investors exposure to domestic investment themes and opportunities, such as the growth potential in Brazil’s homebuilding and consumer goods sectors. MVRIO is well diversified and gives less weighting to heavy commodities and materials like other Brazil-focused indices.

While Energy and Materials account for more than 50 percent of the weighting in the typical Brazil-focused index as of April 30th of this year, the same sector made up just 17 % of MVRIO at that same time. Top industry weightings of MVRIO e.g. included Homebuilding (15%), Packaged Foods and Meats (8%) and Electric Utilities (7%).

The index performance is remarkable, too. YTD the MVRIO (price index) performed 52%, more than 15 percentage points better than other (more large-cap dominated) indices on Brazilian equities.

MVRIO is calculated and maintained by Standard & Poor’s® on behalf of 4asset-management GmbH. At April 30, the Index had an average full market cap of 1.2 billion USD and an average of 610 million USD float market cap.

It is designed to give investors exposure to one of the most populous and most exciting emerging markets in South-East Asia.

The combination of a young and well-educated work force and a growing capital inflow from foreign investors and business gives Vietnam a high potential for the future.

MVVNM is reviewed every quarter and covers at least 90% of the target investable Vietnamese universe with at least 25 companies. It covers both local Vietnamese and Offshore companies which generate or are expected to generate at least 50% of their revenues in Vietnam or demonstrate a significant position in the Vietnamese market and are expected to grow. The ratio between Vietnamese and offshore companies will be re-set to a 70% - 30% weighting every quarter. To ensure the index portfolio diversity, individual companies are capped quarterly at maximum weights in the index – Vietnamese companies are capped at 8% and Offshore companies are capped at 4.5%.

As of August 11, the index consisted of 28 companies (14 Vietnamese companies and 14 Offshore companies) and provides a broad representation of Vietnam's equity market. The largest three companies in the index were Vietnam Dairy Product Company (11.5%), Hoa Phat Group (7.2%) and Sacombank (7.2%). The top three sectors are Financials (35.7%), Energy (18.6%) and Materials (12.9%).

The index performance reflects the high potential of Vietnam. Year-to-date the MVVNM (price index) performed + 51% and the VEMVVNM (Total Return index) performed +54%.

Market Vectors TM Vietnam Index is calculated and maintained by Standard & Poor’s® on behalf of 4asset-management GmbH. As of August 11, the index had a total market capitalisation of 104 billion USD and an average market capitalisation of 3.7 billion USD.

The MVVNM has been licensed to Van Eck Global as underlying for an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which is expected to start trading in August.

4asset-management has launched the Market Vectors Latin-America Small-Cap Price Return (ticker: MVLATM) and Market Vectors Latin-America Small-Cap Total Return indices. The indices invest in small-capitalisation companies listed in freely investable markets primarily in Latin America. They are calculated real-time on the Structured-Solutions platform. The Index is calculated with the stock prices converted to U.S. Dollars.

MVLATM is a rules-based index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of companies that are domiciled and primarily listed in Latin America or offshore listings outside the continent that are expected to generate at least 50% of their revenues in Latin America.

MVLATM will include only common stocks and stocks with similar characteristics. Companies covering the top 90% of the full market capitalisation are excluded.

Any stocks which have had 10 or more non-trading days in a three month period prior to a quarterly review are eligible for inclusion in the index. The index is free-float adjusted – the number of shares outstanding is reduced to exclude closely held shares from the index calculation. In addition, stocks must meet strict size and liquidity requirements, e.g. a full market capitalisation larger than USD 150 million, a three months average-daily-trading volume of at least USD 1 million and a monthly trading volume of at least 250,000 shares over the last six months.
