FTSE Environmental Opportunities Index Series
18 June 2009
At a time when the impacts of climate change and environmental concerns are at a global high, we have enhanced our series of capital investment tools that help investors identify and gain exposure to the rapidly growing environmental technology sector. The introduction of the world's first global environmental markets industry classification system allows those companies who provide essential environmental products, activities and services, to be identified more easily, enabling comparison on a global, regional and pan-regional basis. This also offers levels of granularity and precision that can define this growing area and assist in the design of investment products. There are now 18 environmental markets indices, including the new seven country and regional indices created using the new environmental markets classification system. .
The recent additions are:
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities UK Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities UK AIM Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities US Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities Japan Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities Europe Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities Asia Pacific Index
- FTSE Environmental Opportunities Asia Pacific ex Japan Index
