FAQ LGX funds

LGX is a platform launched by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) in September 2016 and is entirely dedicated to green, social, sustainability and ESG financial instruments.

As to the funds, the platform offers an environment where ESG, green and social fund promoters can display their securities and publish information relating to their investment policy, investment strategy, exclusion policy or any other document promoting fund transparency.

At the same time, the platform caters to responsible investors by providing full and unrestricted access to a list of securities that are dedicated to sustainable finance, together with their respective security-specific information.

No. LGX is not a separate market. It is a dedicated platform for securities that are listed on one of LuxSE’s markets (Bourse de Luxembourg, Euro MTF) or registered on the Securities Official List (SOL). In other words, LGX complements LuxSE’s existing markets by focusing on ESG, green, social or sustainable securities.

a. Advantages for investors

b. Advantages for asset managers

• LGX has a very active and impactful communication strategy – social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter), press publications (local and international, e.g. Funds Europe, Responsible Investor), references on websites of other sustainable finance actors and data vendor platforms​
• LGX receives high visibility through the vast number of international events which LuxSE participates in, or through hosting local sustainable finance events such as investor days and LuxSE's Stock Exchange Day.

Displaying a fund on LGX’s fund window also includes the asset manager in the wider LGX ecosystem. LGX brings together not only the buy and sell side of financial transactions, but it is also part of a larger network of actors engaged in sustainable finance such as the European Commission, UNEP Financial Inquiry, UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative, Climate Bonds Initiative, governments, etc.​

For funds domiciled outside of Europe, the LGX Advisory Board will decide on the display of the fund.​
