In the meantime, Eurex has kept its focus on industry trends despite the distractions of the virus, Peters said, citing a shift between active and passive investment as well as the rapid development of ESG products as examples. "Based on discussions with asset managers, there is a clear interest in standardized (ESG) products," Peters said. "It is our responsibility to provide the indexes." Some research suggests a convergence between non-ESG and ESG products could take place as soon as 2022, he said. Eurex launched new ESG futures and options on the DAX 50 ESG and EURO STOXX 50 ESG Indexes on Monday, November 9. The EURO STOXX 50 ESG Index is based on the benchmark EURO STOXX 50 Index, with the ESG version excluding companies with low ESG ratings.
