Fields of Competence
Since its inception in 1998, Eurex has continually set a proven track record in electronic trading
and clearing. From the beginning, we have quickly become an integral part of the global derivative
market. Every year, Eurex has closed with record volumes of traded contracts. As a provider of
highly efficient liquidity pools, we are proving the success of our business model year in and year out.

Market Integrity
Our Clearing House ensures your risk management with its integrated safety and control mechanisms,
thus covering your market, credit and operational risk most effectively. The offsetting of open

requirements are the mainstays of our security system, guaranteeing the fulfilment of every
transaction in every market for which we provide our services. In technology we offer you unmatched
system reliability averaging 99.997 percent.
