OTC Flexible Futures

Futures on more than 750 equities as well as 50 equity indexes and on ETFs can be customized by individual selection of maturity dates and settlement choices. Furthermore, OTC Flexible Futures can be traded with all system features that counterparties already use within the OTC Flexible Options facility.

The OTC Flexible Futures facility is available for

• Single Stock Futures
• Equity Index Futures
• ETF Futures
• Gold & Silver Futures
• Commodity Index Futures

The handling of OTC Flexible Futures trading in the Eurex® system is visualized in the film "Introduction to Trading Flexible Futures on the Eurex @X-Ceed Front-End".

Futures trades can be tailored by individually defining the following parameters:

• Flexible Maturity - The participants of an OTC Flexible Futures trade can create their own maturity date for the transaction. Maturity dates can be as early as the next business day or as far out as the maturity date for the most distant standard future listed on Eurex.
  
  
• Settlement Choice - Similar to OTC Flexible Options on individual equities, OTC Flexible Futures give participants, in most cases, the ability to negotiate the terms of settlement for Single Stock Futures (cash settlement or physical delivery).
  
  
• System Features - All system features that counterparties use for OTC Flexible Options are also available for OTC Flexible Futures (if applicable).
