Barclays licenses Shiller Barclays CAPE index to Ossiam to underlie ETF

Barclays has announced that the Shiller Barclays CAPE Europe Sector Value Index has been licensed to the specialist investment manager Ossiam for use in an exchange-traded fund. The UCITS-compliant ETF is in the process of being passported in various European countries and listed on multiple exchanges. The Shiller Barclays CAPE indices, developed jointly by Barclays and Professor Robert Shiller, use the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio as a key valuation driver in a sector rotational strategy. The indices are designed to offer large cap equity market exposure with a value bias, and are intended for buy-and-hold investors with a multi-year time horizon. The first indices of the family, based on the US market, were launched in September 2012.
