GPW Introduces Macrosector Indices

• GPW starts to publish WIG.GAMES (game developer index) and macrosector indices including: banking-insurance-capital market-debt collection, fuels-gas-chemicals, and energy-mining-resources
• Macroindices will be used as the underlying of futures in line with GPW’s strategic initiative

New macrosector indices

GPW will publish new indices as of 18 March 2019: WIG.GAMES, which groups game developers, as well as macrosector indices.

The macrosector indices will cover companies in the following sectors:

• Banking-insurance-capital market-debt collection (WIG.MS-FIN)
• Fuels-gas-chemicals (WIG.MS-PET)
• Energy-mining-resources (WIG.MS-BAS)

“The new indices group companies in selected sectors of similar specificity. Importantly, the number of companies participating in the indices will be fixed, based on classification by liquidity, with a cap on the share of the biggest participants. The sector indices do not follow the same rules because the classification and weights of companies depend on their share in WIG. We are adding new indicators to our offer, available as the underlying of derivatives,” said Izabela Olszewska, Member of the GPW Management Board.
