MVIS Announces May Performance of MVIS Long/Short Equity Indices

FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MVIS today announced the May 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.

MVIS currently offers four regional and two global long/short equity strategies.
