Deutsche Börse has further expanded its customized indices offering a World Nuclear Power Index for JPMorgan. Since Tuesday, Deutsche Börse has been calculating and disseminating the index. The index will be offered exclusively by JPMorgan as an underlying for a range of structured products. To qualify for the index international companies from the nuclear energy industry need an average daily exchange turnover of at least USD7.5 million.
‘Clear rules, high-quality and liquid security prices, and an independent calculation system show the high quality of our customized indices. We have developed a tailor-made index for JPMorgan, which represents an ideal underlying for index products,’ said Hartmut Graf, Head of Issuer Data & Analytics at Deutsche Börse.
Lucia Pelliccioli, Head of equity exotics & hybrids product development at JPMorgan says: "JPMorgan is pleased to be working with Deutsche Börse in bringing this index to the market. Nuclear power is currently attracting a lot of attention and this index was created in response to investors who want to play the nuclear theme globally, in times of increasing awareness of climate issues.’
