Salus Alpha offers alternative investible index fund based on its Directional Markets Index to investors

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Benedicte Gravrand, Opalesque London: Salus Alpha’s DMX – Directional Markets Index returned 58.8% YTD to November. So, following investors’ demand, Salus Alpha decided to make the index accessible as a fund as at 1st December.
