Why invest in EU Emissions Allowances (EUAs)?
- The EU ETS is considered a cornerstone to achieve net zero by 2050 in the EU economy. EUAs are regulated carbon emission allowances, where one EUA unit equals the right to emit 1 tonne CO2e.
- Under the EU ETS, as a cap-and-trade system, market participants trade the right to emit one tonne of CO2e.
- The EU ETS is the globally leading regulated carbon market and EUAs are qualified as a financial instrument under MiFID II.
- Trust is reflected in the total annual traded volume of €751billion in 2022, representing more than 80% of the global share in regulated carbon allowance markets. The EU Commission perceives it as a key pillar in achieving the EU climate targets by 20501.

Investing into EUAs at a Glance
Return Outlook
Profit from the return outlook for EUAs. The mechanics of the EU ETS will reduce available EUAs over time, which drives the structural scarcity value of EUAs2. Reduced EUA supply is fundamentally supported by Europe’s tightening climate regulation and decreasing carbon emission budgets until 2030 and 2050 under the EU ETS.
Diversification benefits and favourable correlation
Gain exposure to EU carbon market and diversify sources of return. Through low return correlation with traditional asset classes EUAs offer portfolio diversification opportunities.
Climate transition risk resilience and hedging
Protect your portfolio against climate transition risks driven by accelerated global emissions reduction targets. Carbon price risk, as well as carbon pricing induced inflation may further increase. Hedge against potential portfolio losses by purchasing EUAs as an investment.
Carbon Emissions Mitigation
Contribute to carbon mitigation impact in the real economy. Every purchased EUA is not available for polluting companies. Higher carbon emissions prices incentivize companies to accelerate decarbonization efforts and switch to low-carbon solutions. The EU ETS has proven to be an effective tool in driving emissions reductions. Industries covered under the EU ETS reduced emissions by about 47% between 2005 and 20233.
