Products
Of the range of markets sectors in each of the 59 countries the DJI benchmarks cover, many are in alternative or emerging markets such as the environmental market. For example, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (DJSI) were launched in 1999 to track the financial performance of companies meeting a minimum standard of energy-saving practices. The DJSI now covers trading in North America and Europe through the DJSI's partnerships with Wilshire and STOXX.[2]
Dow Jones Indexes launched the Dow Jones U.K. Smaller Companies Index, which provides market participants with a comprehensive measure of the United Kingdom’s small and micro cap segments, on Sept. 8, 2009.[3]
Dow Jones Indexes also recently partnered with exchange operator Climate Exchange to add emissions indexes to its environmental portfolio.[4] DJI will market and license the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) emission indexes that track its carbon-emissions and sulfur-emissions trading on the CCX, the European Climate Exchange (ECX) and the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange (CCFE).
