Upcoming Liquidation of Nomura Bond Performance TR JPY Index – Apr. 18, 2025

Licensed Data Release Notes

Originally posted Mar. 21, 2025

Effective Apr. 18, 2025, Morningstar will make the below changes:

Liquidate the NOMURA-BPI TR JPY index (SecId FOUSA062VJ)
Rename Nomura Bond Performance TR JPY (SecId FOUSA06GG5) to NOMURA-BPI TR JPY.
Extended the historical data to 1965-01-29 for the key Category index for the renamed NOMURA-BPI TR JPY (SecId FOUSA06GG5)

These changes are due to the history of the Nomura Bond Performance TR JPY index, which was extended to align with the NOMURA-BPI TR JPY index, covering returns to 1965 instead of having data from 1969. Given this alignment, the NOMURA-BPI TR JPY is no longer necessary, as both indexes share the same historical monthly returns.

Clients utilizing the current NOMURA-BPI TR JPY (SecID FOUSA062VJ) should modify their processing to use the renamed NOMURA-BPI TR JPY (SecID FOUSA06GG5) after Apr. 18.

Performance ID	Current Name	Sec ID	Key Index	Decommission Date
0P00007NG9	NOMURA-BPI TR JPY	FOUSA062VJ	NA	18-04-2025
