Kalstone and Compass, a Swiss-based company focused on the design of market benchmarks and tailor-made investments solutions, have launched the Compass Kalstone Paris Residential Property Index (PARISSQM), the first investable benchmark based on a proprietary methodology and created to replicate the evolution of Paris Real Estates Housing Prices. Euronext is working with Kalstone and Compass in order to list property future contracts derived from this index. Unlike investment in physical assets, property futures allow direct, transparent and low-cost access to Paris' real estate prices per square meters.
