Pioneer in sustainable derivatives

ESG Index Derivatives

Manage and hedge sustainability exposure                            

With the ever-increasing mandates and focus on building sustainable portfolios, global investors are increasingly looking for tools to help with their ESG integration. Derivatives on ESG benchmarks offer a listed solution to facilitate this integration.

Global leader in ESG Index Derivatives

Eurex leveraged its first-mover advantage and became the leading liquidity pool for ESG Index Derivatives worldwide.

Responsible Investing

With an initial focus on easy to deploy responsible index investment approaches, Eurex offers cost-efficient and liquid sustainable index derivatives with a low tracking error close to benchmark performance.
