To satisfy market demand for TOPIX index values that hedge foreign currency risk, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has been calculating and publishing the TOPIX Total Return Euro Hedged Index since January 2011 and will now begin calculating the TOPIX Total Return Index hedged into Great British pounds.
The TOPIX Total Return Pound Hedged Index is calculated by hedging beginning-of-period balances using rolling one-month GBP-JPY currency forward contracts. The index uses a hedge ratio of 100% and calculation is based on a methodology developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices.
