Note on backcast data: The inception date for the MAC Global Solar Energy Index was March 31, 2008, with a base of 1000.00. The data illustrated above includes back-cast simulated data for the period of March 31, 2005 through March 30, 2008. Live data then begins on March 31, 2008. The back-cast data uses the same methodology as the index uses going foward, i.e., with the same minimum investability criteria and solar revenue exposure requirements.
