Eurex Exchange, a derivatives exchange based in Germany, plans to launch new environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-based derivatives by licensing additional MSCI Inc. indexes.
“This will serve the strongly growing demand for sustainable investments and the trend toward listed and centrally cleared contracts,” the exchange stated in a release.
Eurex is also adding MSCI’s total return futures (TRFs) indexes to boost its position in the total return swaps business.
“Today, MSCI and Eurex open a new chapter in our long-term relationship,” said Diana Tidd, global head of index products at MSCI, in a release. “I am pleased we are able to build upon our previous success and Eurex continues to expand its product offering based on MSCI indexes.”
