\nThey are included in everyday life products from smartphones, televisions, laser printers, LED lighting to more advanced applications, such as medical diagnostics and security systems. Companies operating in these sectors all require photonics technology as a key aspect of their functionality.<\/p>\n
The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), a non-profit industry advocate for Photonics, has collaborated with Solactive and Anatase Ltd. in developing the world\u2019s first investable index, which tracks the photonics industry on a global scale.<\/p>\n
Carlos Lee, General Director at EPIC and the inspiration for the index, explained<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cPhotonics is the next technology growth story. Currently, the Photonics market is valued at nearly $800 billion and is expected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2026 (growing at 8% per year). EPIC was formed in 2003 to promote and support the Photonics Industry.\u201d<\/p>\nThe\u00a0Solactive EPIC Core Photonics Index\u00a0is a representation of companies that derive a majority of their revenues from Photonics manufacturing activities. The selection of the\u00a0Solactive EPIC Core Photonics Index\u2019s\u00a0constituents is based on the comprehensive expertise provided by EPIC, the leading authority in the Photonics Industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndustry consolidation will drive Photonics investment returns over the next 10-20 years, and while individual company returns are potentially very large, it is difficult for investors to differentiate between the winners and losers over time. This is why a thematic index approach makes more sense,\u201d \u00a0added Markus Barth, 30-year veteran index architect and CEO of consulting firm Anatase Ltd.\u00a0who designed the index methodology.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u201cThe environmental impact of Photonics manufacturing is also significantly lower. The index has over a 90% lower carbon footprint than the overall US and European markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cSolactive is recognised globally as a leader in the thematic space, and we are delighted that EPIC has chosen to partner with us for this first of its kind launch,\u201d\u00a0comments Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nQuelle : ETFWorld.de<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
