(Cayman) ("Valour Cayman") VALOUR VDAB10 Index got selected as the benchmark index on MoneyMoon, one of the major European exchange traded product comparison platforms with far over 75,000 monthly active users.
According to independent research provider MoneyMoon, Valour’s ETP products are consistently delivering a higher performance compared to their peer group.

“To ensure a full transparent comparison for the users of the app, we perform in-depth analysis to find the best benchmarks for each ETF/ETP category to guarantee a fair comparison within the ETF/ETP categories.
