Thomson Reuters has launched a global range of indices to help monitor global markets, benchmark specific countries, regions, and sectors, and develop investment vehicles, the company said last week.

This marks the first time the company has provided indices under the Thomson Reuters brand. The 800 new indices, which will compete with Dow Jones indices for the attention of investors, cover 44 countries, 18 regions and multiple industry sectors.

Thomson Reuters is using a proprietary filter that links liquidity and 'investability' and chooses equities based on price not volume, as traditional filters do.

All Thomson Reuters Indices are accessible via desktop computers as well as through data feeds.
