Eurex Announces Partnership with FTSE to Expand Total Return Futures

Eurex, the leading European derivatives exchange and one of the leading clearing houses globally, teams up with FTSE Russell, the leading global index provider to expand Total Return Futures.

Through collaborating with FTSE Russel, Eurex is further expanding its cooperation with leading providers in its strategically important index segment. Scheduled for March 29, 2021,  the launch once again emphasizes the goal of backing the global shift towards regulated on-exchange trading with central clearing, as well as passive investments.

With this step, the exchange responds to the demand from many clients for a TRF contract covering the UK equity market. Furthermore, it demonstrates that TRFs are a pioneering example within the futurization theme.

“Increased margin pressure, capital requirements and demand for electronic execution are moving OTC segments into futurized listed derivatives. Our innovative TRF offering provides great benefits to address these topics. We are pleased to partner with FTSE Russell to further expand this novel area in particular", Michael Peters, CEO of Eurex said.
