The New Frontier U.S. Multi-Asset Series is a family of six systematic-risk-level optimized U.S. indices calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices. Index construction and management is based on the multi-patented Michaud optimizer and investment management technologies. The series tracks all investment activity of our U.S. multi-asset portfolios, launched in June 2019, and provides long-term investors with a range of benchmarks to compare the performance of institutional-quality U.S. risk-managed core portfolios.

The indices reflect six different levels of systematic equity risk along the Michaud Efficient Frontier. Each index is a risk-targeted U.S. portfolio consisting of well-diversified, high-quality, low-cost, tax-efficient ETFs. The indices include institutional-quality equity, commodity, and fixed income ETFs that meet New Frontier’s asset class, quality, and diversification risk standards. 

The indices allow real-time tracking on Bloomberg, the S&P and New Frontier websites, smartphones’ “Stocks” apps, as well as on wearable devices.
