Euronext Thematic Indices for European Strategic Autonomy

What this report covers

Technologies: Space, Satellites, Launchers & PNT. A sourced, structured 8-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.

About this report

Euronext has introduced three new European equity indices designed to track companies contributing to the EU’s strategic autonomy. These are the Euronext European Energy Security Index , the Euronext European Aerospace & Defence Index , and the Euronext European Strategic Autonomy Index .

Each index is based on a free-float market‐capitalisation methodology and is rebalanced quarterly. Euronext describes the indices as reference benchmarks for investment products, intended to “help channel capital to support the companies most critical to Europe’s strategic autonomy”. The Energy Security Index targets European firms in the energy sector.

Key questions this report answers

• What distinguishes Euronext's three new indices—the European Energy Security Index, the European Aerospace & Defence Index, and the European Strategic Autonomy Index?
• How does Euronext's free-float market-capitalisation methodology with quarterly rebalancing determine which companies enter each index?
• How are these indices intended to serve as reference benchmarks that channel capital toward companies critical to Europe's strategic autonomy?
• How do the three indices align with EU strategic-autonomy policy, and what does that mean for investment product design and capital allocation?
