Simona Waltert appears in the second edition of Euronext’s Index Outlook series, a recurring publication aimed at giving investors deeper insight into index innovation and the structural forces shaping global markets. The new edition puts Liz Wright, Euronext’s Head of Index Strategy and Distribution, at the center of that message.
“Europe’s focus on resilience, autonomy and innovation is creating new opportunities across the region,” Wright said. That is the clearest line in the release, and it turns the publication from a general market note into a signal about where Euronext wants investors to look next.
Liz Wright and Europe
Wright’s comments tie Europe’s market story to three forces at once: resilience, autonomy and innovation. The phrasing matters because the source is not treating those ideas as slogans; it is using them as the framework for an index research product meant to guide investors through changing market structure.
Euronext is also expanding its repo clearing services across Europe, which places the group’s research push alongside a broader effort in market infrastructure. In practice, that means the Index Outlook is not just a commentary piece. It sits beside product development and distribution strategy, so the audience is being asked to read the research as part of a wider capital-markets proposition.
Index Outlook and investors
The Index Outlook series is recurring, and the second edition signals that Euronext intends to keep building on it rather than treat it as a one-off note. For investors, the immediate value is simple: the publication is designed to deepen insight into the index innovation agenda and the structural forces shaping global markets.
That leaves one clear friction point in the story. The release leans hard on Europe’s push for resilience and autonomy while also stressing innovation, but it does not spell out how those priorities interact when index design, trading infrastructure and market access all have to work together. Euronext Securities and its focus on integration, connectivity and innovation point in the same direction, yet the release stops short of showing the mechanics.

The practical reading is that Euronext wants investors to see its index work as part of a broader architecture, not a stand-alone research product. That is a sensible move in a market where the sales pitch is increasingly about access, structure and distribution, not just performance commentary.
What investors still do not get from this edition is the specific index innovation agenda inside the publication itself. The second edition establishes the theme and the voice. The next useful step would be the underlying index topics, because that is where the difference between a market narrative and a tradable idea starts to show.
