Eurex has announced it will allow its members and market participants to trade futures on two Bloomberg MSCI indices, Euro Corporate SRI index and Global Green Bond index.
The firm will offer a standardised, listed and centrally cleared way to trade derivatives on fixed income indices that embed ESG criteria
Eurex aims to be more sustainability focused and meet client demand for environmental, social and governance (ESG) products, according to Lee Bartholomew, the global head of fixed income derivatives R&D at Eurex.
Bartholomew says: “With this launch, we not only want to pave the way for further developments in the fixed income ESG space, but also enrich the range of available euro-denominated credit derivatives.
“The launch of these Bloomberg MSCI index futures provides an additional entry point for market participants seeking exposure to European corporate bonds via a transparent, publicly listed, and centrally cleared product.”
