Indxx, LLC is a global diversified financial services firm. Founded in 2005 by Mexx Co-founder PK Sen Sharma, the company has offices in New Delhi, India; New York, USA; and London, UK. It currently has four main business groups: Index Development, Index Calculation, Analytics and Research.
The firm's index division specializes in the development and publishing of proprietary custom indices, which are licensed to financial intermediaries worldwide. The company's global presence allows 24-hour continuous work capability, a model that offers more personalized service, responsiveness and adaptability compared to traditional larger, more-established index providers.[1] Indxx indices are currently used as benchmarks for exchange-traded funds,[2] SMAs, and other financial products.
History
Indxx started its operations in 2005, and was initially engaged in the development of indices that served as internal benchmarks for existing investment funds. Indxx entered the ETF market in 2009 and the first two ETFs based on Indxx indices were launched on NYSE in 2010; this number reached 16[3][4][5] in March 2016, with many additional products being prepared for launch.[6] In 2012, Indxx expanded operations in Europe with a London office. In 2013, Indxx launched services providing 3rd party index back testing, administration and calculation. Indxx’s latest offerings, Fund and Portfolio Analytics debuted in 2014. As of March 31, 2016, indices which were developed by Indxx were tied to various financial products and tracked assets of over $550 million.
