3. Details of the initiative
Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL) opened a consultation to solicit feedback on the proposed changes relating to the use of ESG- and sustainability-related terms in index names.
The UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and European Securities and Market Authority’s (ESMA) Guidelines on fund names using ESG- or sustainability-related terms (ESMA Guidelines) set certain restrictions on the use of ESG- and sustainability-related terms in fund names.
Although the SDR and the ESMA guidelines focus solely on fund naming, this BISL proposal is intended to ensure consistency between the naming of indices and the funds that track them.
As a result, the Bloomberg MSCI SRI Index family will be renamed to “Bloomberg MSCI Screened Indices”. Despite the name change, the index methodology remains unchanged. Consequently, Eurex futures on Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate SRI Index (FECX) will be renamed to “Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate Screened Index Futures”, as detailed in the Contract Specifications for Futures Contracts and Options Contracts at Eurex Deutschland (Attachments 1 and 2).
The name change has also been reflected in the Liquidity Provider Scheme related to the product “Fixed Income 20 – EURO Credit Index Futures” (Attachment 3). This change affects only the name of the contract, while all other parameters remain unchanged.
