How the S&P 500 Dynamic Intraday TCA Index Works
- The index is linked to the S&P 500, while actively adjusting exposure throughout the day.
- It monitors market volatility and trading conditions in real time.
- When markets are calm, the index can keep more exposure to stocks.
- As markets become riskier, it automatically reduces exposure to help manage risk.
- These adjustments happen according to pre‑set, rules‑based formulas, not human judgment.
In simple terms:
This index actively manages risk by adjusting exposure—scaling up in stable markets and dialing back during periods of higher volatility. Visit the official index site here for marketing materials and details about index methodology, performance details and more.Disclosures

How the Barclays Global Quality Index Works
- Managed by Barclays, this index uses quality stocks, global bonds, and commodities to seek returns while targeting a specific level of risk.
- Utilizing a Bond Switch Signal, Barclays determines whether to allocate exposure to Fixed Income in each region.
- Every business day, every possible combination of underlying components is evaluated to maximize long-term return potential.
- Barclays then runs a second optimization process to adjust based on short-term market trends using techniques from momentum investing.
- Finally, the exposure to the resulting portfolio is adjusted up or down in an attempt to maintain a 5% volatility control target.
In simple terms:
The Barclays Global Quality Index provides exposure to equities from the US, Europe and Japan while also aiming to stabilize exposure to risk.
