Overview

The UBS Market Pioneers Index brings together the research and experience of two renowned market pioneers, Roger Ibbotson and Jim Rogers, into a single index. The Index consists of two innovative, yet common-sense strategies, one equity-based, the other commodity-based with exposure to a fixed-income component and cash when the Index’s equity and commodity volatility targets are exceeded.
