July 1, 2015 10:26 AM EDT

FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Market Vectors Index Solutions (MVIS) today announced the June performance of its six investable Long/Short Equity Indices. Each index is constructed using transparent, liquid ETFs and US Treasury securities to produce hedge fund-style returns without hedge fund pricing, opaqueness and redemption restrictions.

With a history stretching back to 2003, the Market Vectors Long/Short Equity Indices use a patented methodology in seeking to capture the beta returns of universes of statistically similar hedge funds that exhibit in aggregate consistently high concentrations of beta. MVIS currently offers four regional and two global long/short equity strategies.

The table below shows the performance of the indices for June 2015 and for selected periods:
