EEX Global Carbon Index Core

The EEX Global Carbon Index Core is designed to track the performance of the most liquid and mature global markets in compliance carbon emissions allowances and provides a daily approximation for a global carbon price.

The EEX Global Carbon Index Core is calculated using daily prices of futures contracts with current or next year December expiry in carbon emissions allowances originating from the following programs:

EU ETS
CCA California Cap and Trade Program
RGGI Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
UK ETS

Prices of carbon contracts are weighted by the cap volume of the ETS programs from where the constituent products originate, which represents the actual “physical size” of the respective ETS in the given year. The index is published in US dollars and euros.

Versions of EEX Global Carbon Index Core

The following versions of the EEX Global Carbon Index Core are calculated by EEX AG and included in this subscription:

EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Spot (EUR)
EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Spot (USD)
EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Total Return (EUR)
EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Total Return (USD)
EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Excess Return (EUR)
EEX Global Carbon Index Core - Excess Return (USD)

All index variants track the price movements of the carbon futures contracts specified as index constituents relative to the starting date. Whereas the EEX Global Carbon Index Core – Total Return tracks the performance of a fully collateralized investment in these contracts including interest on collateral, the EEX Global Carbon Index Core – Excess Return tracks the price movements of these contracts without taking into account interest earned on collateral. The EEX Global Carbon Index Core – Spot provides a non-investible measure of the price changes of the carbon futures contracts without taking into account interest earned on collateral and the rolling of the futures contracts.
