What you need to know:

Effective Tuesday, September 1, 2015, Nasdaq® will begin disseminating the following new NASDAQ BulletShares® Indexes on the Nasdaq Global Index Data ServiceSM (GIDS).

What are the new indexes?

The NASDAQ BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2025 Index measures the performance of maturity-targeted segments of the U.S. high yield corporate bond market. The NASDAQ BulletShares methodology allocates bonds from the universe of eligible securities into NASDAQ BulletShares Indices based on maturity, or in some cases anticipated effective maturity date.

The NASDAQ BulletShares USD Corporate Bond 2025 Index provides maturity targeted exposure to the U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade corporate bond market. The Index tracks a diversified basket of bonds with the same annual maturity and is designed to have a return profile similar to that of an individual held-to-maturity bond, which results in successive annual maturities.

How are the indexes disseminated?

Effective Tuesday, September 1, 2015, data recipients will receive real-time index information from the proprietary GIDS data feed with the following attributes:

Instrument ID Instrument Name Currency Frequency FP Type Brand
BSJKP NASDAQ BulletShares USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2025 Index
