BEWI is the abbreviation that Bloomberg uses for the SCB on its proprietary terminals. It’s short for Stable Currency Benchmark of Elliott Wave International (BEWI).
Investors and hedge fund managers find the BEWI useful for plotting stock indexes, total return indexes, currencies, individual stocks, bonds, etc. The BEWI enables investors to compare valuations from around the world quickly, as no currency conversions are required. Also, the BEWI eliminates the troubling distortions from local currency fluctuations. Traders and investors who are interested in protecting themselves against currency risk may treat the BEWI as an index by investing in its components.
