Plus500 Introduces ESG Trading Suite on Its OTC and Share Dealing Trading Platforms

Plus500, the London-listed FTSE 250 multi-asset fintech group has announced the launch of a new ESG trading product suite. This new array of instruments includes ESG scores for the Group's vast range of stock CFDs alongside exclusive ESG Impact Indices that will be tradeable on its OTC trading platform and stocks on its Share Dealing trading platform.

Plus500 users now can enjoy a broader choice of instruments and effective portfolio diversification across growing market segments, such as climate change, green energy, and sustainable resources.

The product suite enables customers to make informed decisions based on data-driven insights that are rarely included in traditional market analysis, such as index annualised return, annualised volatility, and Sharpe ratio.

The intuitive and easy-to-use ESG scoring provides further insights on each of the index constituent's sustainability and long-term resilience on Environmental, Social and Governance factors. With this wealth of information at hand, clients can accurately analyse a company's score and performance, factoring in associated potential opportunities, growth, and risks.

Created in collaboration with leading financial data analytics and software provider, FactSet, ESG scores offer a comprehensive view on a company's shares or an index's long-term performance and potential to generate returns.

"We know that our customers are increasingly interested in ESG investing and trading and want to better understand the level of sustainability that companies are meeting before making a decision. With our innovative new ESG trading suite, they can now make informed decisions thanks to our user-friendly ESG scoring over a variety of CFDs on equities and our exclusive ESG Indices," CEO David Zruia said.

"Highly intuitive, easy to use and underpinned by reliable data, this new product suite puts a wealth of ESG information at the fingertips of Plus500 customers and is yet another example of our unique proprietary technology delivering the best user experience."
