Solactive ESG Indices

Published in Thematic Indices

Solactive has expertise in the construction of ESG-themed index strategies, converting raw ESG data provided by external parties into investable indices. Two of these indices are described as follows:

The Solactive Sustainable World Equity Index tracks the performance of a selection of the top 250 shares from global developed markets which have been screened according to sustainability criteria’s set by EIRIS. The selection model filters the shares according to a liquidity threshold of EUR 25 million 6-month ADV and includes subsequently the top ranked shares based on free-float adjusted market capitalization. The Index is calculated in a PR, NTR and GTR version. The Index is published in EUR.
The Solactive Sustainable Development Goals Impact Index tracks the price movements of a portfolio of European companies with high dividend yield and price momentum. The index includes only companies providing a positive contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) while excluding companies identified as having significant obstructions to those Goals. The index is a Price Return (PR) index and is published in EUR.
