Derivatives market and ESG indices: The quest for the right approach

The financial services sector is increasingly looking for relevant data and tools to create ESG solutions, spurred by regulation and demand from retail investors.

The derivatives market has a notional value of more than 600 trillion euros. Given the size and significance of this market, we believe it is important to provide ESG investors with access to it. Opening up this market helps democratize ESG investing whilst creating new opportunities for those in the industry.
