Euronext has capitalised on demand for ESG underlyings in Europe and particularly in France to retain a significant market share as one of the top providers of ESG underlyings to the structured products market with about 25% of the products issued featuring an index developed by the index provider.
The most recent development came in the form of a gender equality based index – the Euronext Equileap Gender Equality France 40 Index , launched in partnership Equileap in December 2022, but the European index provider was also behind the second highest selling ESG index in the structured products market last year. ESG is an important trend for our index business and the biggest part by far of what our clients request - Fabrice Rahmouni, Euronext The SBF Top 50 ESG EW Decrement 5
