The Credit Suisse/Tremont LEA Index and three sub-indices are a suite of region-specific hedge fund indices encompassing funds that have emerging markets exposure in the three regions of Latin America, EEMEA and Asia. Unlike the Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index, the LEA Index includes only open, or investable, funds, similar to the AllHedge Index and the Blue Chip Index. When defining open funds and other terms for eligibility, Credit Suisse Tremont Index LLC relies on information provided to it, its affiliates and any third party advised by it. The broad Credit Suisse/Tremont Hedge Fund Index includes closed funds. The LEA Index can therefore include funds that may generally be closed. Funds in the LEA Index are also selected solely from the set of funds that meet specified eligibility conditions.
