Lantern Daily Economic Index (LDEI)

The LDEI is a proprietary index created and maintained by Lantern Capital. It is designed to measure U.S. economic growth dynamics and is available on the Bloomberg Terminal under the ticker LTRNLDEI <Index>. The following important disclosures apply to the LDEI:

  • The LDEI is an analytical and informational tool. It is not a trading signal, benchmark for investment performance, or recommendation to take any specific action.
  • Past values, trends, or correlations of the LDEI (including correlations to U.S. Treasury yields, nominal GDP, or any other metric) do not guarantee or predict future results. Historical relationships may not continue.
  • The LDEI methodology incorporates data from publicly available economic releases. While Lantern Capital endeavors to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee that the index or its underlying data is free from error, omission, or delay.
  • The availability of the LDEI on the Bloomberg Terminal or any other third-party platform does not constitute an endorsement of the index by Bloomberg or any other distributor. Third-party distributors may display LDEI data subject to their own terms, timing, and formatting, which Lantern Capital does not control.
  • Lantern Capital reserves the right to modify the LDEI methodology, calculation, or publication schedule at any time without prior notice.
