How evolving ESG indices and derivatives help transforming portfolios
Responsible Investor in partnership with Eurex
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the move towards sustainable investments as global
investors were already shifting away from existing benchmarks to sustainable alternatives. On
top of this are regulatory drivers such as the EU’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance and
Green Deal. Part of this ‘new normal’ is the emergence of derivatives as a powerful tool to help
ESG integration. Derivatives on ESG benchmarks offer a way to help facilitate ESG integration
while offering a cost-efficient and liquid solution with a low tracking error close to benchmark
performance.
This webinar will explain how these new products can help to transform portfolios.
Index Methodologies: Screened Indices vs. Universal Indices
Derivatives as a tool for ESG risk management & ESG integration
Role in portfolios: liquidity, tracking error and carbon footprint
Emerging markets: volumes and client interest
Next steps: forthcoming market developments
This webinar builds on the earlier ESG in derivatives – the quest for the right methodology
recorded in April (https://bit.ly/3jTmwrr).

Looking to learn more about green economy trends and the data foundation they are built from?
FTSE Russell recently relaunched its Green Revenues data model, providing a comprehensive picture of the green economy. Its singular methodology quantifies material exposure to define green activity, measuring, with point data accuracy, equity exposure to 133 microsectors. This data is being used by asset managers, index providers, exchanges and corporations to see trends and incorporate into investment and risk thinking. And importantly for firms subject to EU regulation, the data model aligns with the EU taxonomy to provide the basis for meeting reporting requirements.
