FRANKFURT, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MV Index Solutions (MVIS®) today announced the September performance of its seven investable Long/Short Equity Indices. Each index is constructed using transparent, liquid ETFs and US Treasury securities to produce hedge fund-style returns without hedge fund pricing, opaqueness and redemption restrictions.

MVIS currently offers four regional and three global long/short equity strategies.
