Note: The “PerpetualPremium” Index contained the issue NA.PR.J from date of issue, 2000-7-13 until 2000-11-29. This is an error; this issue is a FixedFloater. Since this was the sole issue in the “PerpetualPremium” index, the results for this index should have been reported as having a performance equal to the “PerpetualDiscount” index.
In the period 2000-7-12 to 2000-11-29, performance of relevant indices was:

     

  • FixedFloater: +2.50%
  •  

  • PerpetualPremium: +3.30%
  •  

  • PerpetualDiscount: +3.42%

Indices will not be recalculated – for now! I regret the error.
