Poland’s First Official Treasury Bonds Index

• BondSpot S.A. launched the TBSP.Index on 16 February 2011

TBSP.Index, launched by Treasury BondSpot Poland (TBSP), is Poland’s first official Treasury bonds index. The index has been developed to give retail and institutional investors a universal market tool and a benchmark by which to measure their investment decisions.

TBSP.Index is a total return index which includes the bond price performance, accrued interest, and revenue from reinvested coupons. The index portfolio comprises zero coupon bonds and fixed rate bonds denominated in Polish zlotys.
The first index portfolio includes 16 bonds: 4 series of zero coupon bonds and 12 series of fixed rate bonds (5Y, 10Y, 20Y bonds).

The composition of the index portfolio will be revised on a monthly basis.

The index is calculated on the basis of bond prices set on TBSP fixing sessions and published twice a day: at 10:30 (opening index value) and 16:45 (closing index value). The index base date is 29 December 2006 and the index base value is 1,000.00 points.

The index is published on the www.bondspot.pl website and distributed by WSE Data Distributors. The BondSpot website presents historical values of TBSP.Index from 29 December 2006 to 15 February 2011.
