About
The Eurex Company
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.
