As of today, Structured Solutions AG has fully completed its takeover of the index platform S-BOX from Boerse Stuttgart AG. Structured Solutions AG has seized this opportunity to rebrand all its indices. From now on the brand will appear under its new brand name “Solactive”. All indices that were previously S-BOX branded will therefore now be renamed “Solactive”.

“In cooperation with Boerse Stuttgart AG we managed to establish ourselves over the last four years in the indexing business both in Germany as well as internationally. As of today we are one of the leading providers of customized indices in Europe. We would like to strengthen this position with the use of our new IT platform, by working closely with our clients and by ensuring a high level of service quality”, says Steffen Scheuble, CEO of Structured Solutions AG.

After successfully expanding into the strategically important North American market and ETF segment, Structured Solutions now calculates approximately 175 indices. In addition to index certificates, mainly ETF products are linked to Solactive indices. Thus worldwide there are currently 21 ETFs that are using indices calculated by Structured Solutions AG either as benchmark or as underlying indices. Assets of approximately USD 5 billion are linked to these products.

“Especially in the ETF segment we still see a lot of growth potential. Here we currently see the trend in demand moving towards customized indices with a focus on regional or special themes as well as strategies. In addition to equity, the focus in the indexing area is also on different asset classes. Our new and flexible setup allows us to take advantage of these opportunities and launch new index concepts within a very short period of time.” says Sebastian Seifried, Head of Indexing at Structured Solutions AG.
