1.Introduction1.1 BackgroundThis document specifies the methodology for the NASDAQ Hedged Indexes.1.2 The IndexesThe NASDAQ Hedged Indexes (the “Hedged Indexes”) are designed to represent returns forglobal investment strategies that involve hedging currency risk, but not the underlyingconstituent risk. The currency hedged strategy indexes aims to eliminate the effect of currencyfluctuations in the index. By factoring the impact of selling foreign currency forwards at the onemonth forward rate, the Hedged Indexes mitigate the currency exposures in the index comparedto the ‘home’ currency. The amount of forward return per currency applied to the index levelcorresponds to the percentage weight of the securities traded in each currency in the underlyingunhedged index as of the close of two trading days before the first trading day of the new monthbut taking account any following month end changes implemented as of close of the last btradingday of the month. The currency weights used to generate the daily forward return are then keptconstant over the full month.By selling foreign exchange forward contracts, global investors are able to lock in currentexchange forward rates, and manage their currency risk. Profits (losses) from the forwardcontracts are offset by losses (profits) in the value of the currency, thereby negating exposureto the currency.The Hedged Indexes are calculated as daily return indexes and hedged on a monthly basis.The Hedged Indexes can be constructed for any developed and emerging market index.However, for some currencies, especially emerging market currencies, the hedged impactcannot be calculated due to data unavailability. In such cases, the affected currency weight isset to zero.For specific information related to the underlying reference index, Nasdaq Indexes, please seethe “Nasdaq Index Methodology.”1.3 Currency Data Definitions1.3.1 Closing Spot RatesNasdaq uses the WM Company, Closing Spot Rates at 16:00:00 UK time in the calculation ofthe closing Index Values1. SIX Financial Information Intraday Spot Rates are applied to the realtime Index calculations during the trading day.The WM/Reuters Spot Rates and Forward Rates provided by The World Markets Company plc (“WM”) inconjunction with Reuters. WM shall not be liable for any errors in or delays in providing or making availablethe data contained within this service or for any actions taken in reliance on the same, except to the extentthat the same is directly caused by its or its employees’ negligence13 Page

1.3.2 Closing Forward RatesNasdaq uses the WM Company, Closing Forward Rates at 16:00:00 UK time in the calculationof the closing Index Values. WM 1-month Intraday Forward Rates are applied to the real timeIndex calculations during the trading day.1.3.3 Missing Spot or Forward RatesIn the case WM/Reuters does not provide a Spot or a Forward rate for specific markets on givendays the previous business day’s rates will be used.2.Index CalculationThere are two components to a Hedged Index return: The performance of the unhedged underlying index in the portfolio home currency The Hedge Impact (aimed to represent the profit or loss on the forward contracts) in theportfolio home currencyHome Currency: Home Currency Index Currency (currency of the country of the investor)Foreign Currency: Foreign currencies all currencies in the underlying index that is a non-homecurrencyExample: NDXEUR is calculated in EUR by converting the component securities from USD intoEUR using the EURUSD spot rate. NDXEURMH is the hedged version of NDXEUR.Step 1: Determine Home and Foreign Currency. NDXEUR is calculated in EUR for EURO investorso home currency is EUR. Foreign currency are the currencies of the underlying components ofNDXEUR which in this example is USD.Step 2: Combine Home Currency and Foreign Currency to create the spot rate for HedgeImpact calculation as the amount of foreign currency worth of one unit home currency: EURUSDStep 3: Calculate weights for each foreign currency in the unhedged underlying index byaggregating the Market Cap weight of each security quoted it that currency. In the example USDwill have 100% weight .Step 4: Calculate Hedge Impact based on EURUSD Spot and Forward Rates and foreigncurrency weightsStep 5: Calculate the Hedged Index value, NDXEURMH, by combining the unhedged underlyingindex , NQDXEURO , return with the Hedge Impact2.1 Hedge RatioThe hedge ratio is the proportion of the portfolio’s currency exposure that is hedged. Thestandard NASDAQ Hedged Indexes uses a hedge ratio of 1 (100%).4 Page
