Gary- Thank you for your response. II am familiar with the process of index distribution. Personally, we already have a license direct with Dow Jones for their data feeds.
I would suggest NOT using the Dow Jones North American High Yield Bond Index. It is based on the CDX swaps market, which is only about a year and half old. The reason I pointed out the fact that Merril's High Yield Index was available to the public on their website, was to make the point that it is probably available for distribution, in contrast to Lipper's which you need a 20 page agreement signed in triplicate to view. ALSO- Is there a way to get more historical data for !DJAG? The data is very short compared to the actual life of the index. eSignal, Fasttrack, Yahoo and CSI all provide 10 years of data, but my !DJAG data for some reason only goes back to 12/27/2005. Is this an error on my part, or is this the extent of the history? Thanks -Eric. --- In [email protected], "Gary Lyben" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Eric - > > > Merrill, S&P and Dow Jones have hundreds or thousands of specialty indices.
