Smart indexing solutions for ESG-focused investors
Sustainability and the responsible use of resources remain important issues for companies and investors—as well as the financial return, too. Sustainability filters in the portfolio, should not mean that an investor is suffering weak financial returns compared to conventional benchmarks. That’s where GGX comes into play.
As an innovative player, Global Green Xchange AG not only offers solutions around ESG ratings and ESG raw data, but also practical index and portfolio solutions which are able to cover both: sustainability and ESG elements and also financial factors like balance sheet power, dividends or volatility. Our solutions are designed for asset managers, family offices, banks, and other institutional investors. With the help of GGX, professional investors can launch their own or co-branded ESG index solutions for financial products (such as funds, AMCs, ETPs)— with or without other factors as additive.
Sustainability for your portfolio: Switzerland's first ESG-linked ETP+ from GGX and Leonteq
A good example for the application of the value chain of ESG data, ESG ratings and subsequent index creation is our GGX Sustainable Dynamic Leaders family. This index series combines both: ESG parameters and economic factors. The stock selection for this index is initially based on the GGX ESG Rating, the innovative rating standard that enables transparent and traceable quantification of corporate sustainability. A company's effective performance is compared between the reporting periods in the Environmental, Social and Governance segments and its dynamics (improved, level, deteriorated) are graded from 0 to 10. To be selected for the index, a rating score of 4.0 or better is required.
The GGX Sustainable Dynamic Leaders Europe Index brings together the leading companies based in Europe that have made good progress in terms of sustainability and are also worthwhile as an attractive, substantial investment. With the first ESG ETP+ in Switzerland, investors have the opportunity to include both in their portfolio: Sustainability and attractive return prospects. The ETP+ is traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange and has both the custodian and the collateral agent, two renowned counterparties, based in Switzerland. In addition, there are daily independent checks that significantly mitigate issuer risk. All information about investing and trading of the listed financial product (symbol ESGEU) can be found here:
