Nasdaq Launches Futures on the OMX Sweden Small Cap 30 ESG
Responsible Index™
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced the launch of Nasdaq
futures on the OMX Sweden Small Cap 30 ESG Responsible Index™
(Nasdaq: OMXSS30ESG™) (Bloomberg Ticker: OMXSMLGI).
With over 300 billion SEK in Assets under Management (AUM) of
equity funds in Sweden that track the Swedish small cap market
segment, this new futures solution offers an important development
for asset managers, retail investors, and ETP issuers.
The Nasdaq futures solution makes it possible for investors to
simplify their investment strategies and efficiently gain exposure
to the Swedish small cap market. This is done by consolidating a
diversified portfolio of small cap stocks into a single, easily
tradeable instrument.
Additionally, the incorporated environmental, social and
governance (ESG) screening criteria, as outlined in the Index
methodology, enables investors to make decisions that may be
aligned with positive societal and environmental outcomes. The
futures on the small index segment can be used as instruments
for cash management and hedging as well as in the creation and
trading of ETPs and structured products.
“This is an excellent product that can be used in our long-only
equity funds, as well as for hedging purposes in our absolute
return funds,” said Marcus Plyhr, Portfolio Manager at Norron Asset
Management. “With this innovative setup and great liquidity, we
will be able to hedge our funds in a better way than through any
other relevant product existing on the market.”
“We are very pleased to meet the strong market demand for an
index future covering the Swedish small cap segment,” said
Alessandro Romani, VP, Head of European Derivatives at Nasdaq. “The
new index future offering is part of Nasdaq Europe’s strategy to
support investors with a liquid and diversified product for the
Nordic region combined with our strong commitment to ESG.”
