BSE To Part Ways With S&P Dow Jones, To Develop Own Indices
BSE has decided to snap ties with S&P Dow Jones, which manages and operates the benchmark Sensex, and plans to develop indices through its own in-house development team, the exchange's officials said.
The two entities had announced a joint venture—Asia Index—in 2013 to provide an array of indices enabling global and domestic investors to participate in South Asia's vibrant economies.
The deal with BSE came after the expiry of the licensing arrangement between India Index Services & Products, a joint venture of NSE and S&P-owned Crisil.
The exchange officials said that BSE will not renew its agreement with S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC which expires on December 31, 2018 and it is looking to develop indices through its own team.
Basically, we had done this tie-up five years back, but the joint venture could not do much in terms of expanding in the foreign jurisdiction, the usage of the indexes. And that is why we have decided to not renew it, but overall the impact on profits or on the revenues will be minuscule.Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD and CEO, BSE
