About the exchange
Eurex is the world’s largest futures and options exchange and is jointly operated by Deutsche Börse AG and SWX Swiss Exchange. The Exchange is the market place of choice for trading and clearing of derivatives. Eurex has been a pioneer in electronic trading of derivative products for more than a decade, and it offers its customers open, democratic, simple, and cost-effective access from any point around the globe. The trading participants are connected to the Eurex system via a communications network; at present, some 700 locations worldwide are connected to Eurex.
Together with international trading houses, Eurex operates the electronic network (ECN) Eurex Bonds, an over-the-counter market for integrated cash and derivatives trading in German Federal bonds. Eurex Repo, which is a separate segment, is the electronic trading solution for repos (sale and repurchase agreements).
Aside from operating a fully electronic trading platform, Eurex provides an automated and integrated joint clearing house for products and participants, thereby achieving a centralized, cross-border risk management. With this structure, participants benefit from a high-quality, cost-efficient and comprehensive value chain of services covering the entire spectrum from trading to final settlement via a single electronic system.
Operating as a lean, entrepreneurial organization Eurex strives to fulfill customer demand. Its team of dedicated professionals does its utmost to offer every class of investor the advantages of having spot and futures markets as well as related clearing and settlement activities all fully integrated under one roof.
