Eurex enables global ESG investing with new MSCI index-based derivatives
March 2, 2020

Eurex reports that it is supporting asset managers in switching to sustainable investments by broadening its ESG (environmental, social and governance) segment and expanding its range of ESG derivatives to markets beyond Europe. As of today, five new Eurex futures will cover the sustainable versions of key regional and global MSCI benchmarks.

Eurex says that trading in MSCI index-based derivatives is one of its fastest growing segments. It says the share of client business driven by institutional investors has nearly doubled within the last two years and now represents 27 percent of turnover.

Eurex claims that its MSCI index-based derivatives offering is the broadest worldwide to be tradable on a single platform, with 120 MSCI index-based futures and 20 MSCI index-based options currently listed. It calculates that total open interest is approximately 2.5 million contracts, the world's highest MSCI index-based derivative-related open interest.
