S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that, as part of its strategic growth plan to expand throughout Latin America, it has signed a landmark agreement with the Bolsa de Valores de Lima to license, distribute, and govern all of the BVL indices including a new version of their index, IGBVL (Indice General de la Bolsa de Valores de Lima). S&P DJI will be responsible for the marketing and commercial licensing of the BVL indices. The agreement also allows S&P DJI to eventually calculate all of the BVL indices, and to jointly create new indices with the Exchange to meet the evolving needs of investors inside and out of Peru.

Each of these indices will be designed with an eye toward being liquid enough to serve as the basis for potential investment products.
