Eurex
The Management Boards of the Eurex Exchanges and the Executive Board of Eurex Clearing AG decided to extend the Designated Market Making scheme for Single Stock Dividend Futures (SSDFs) on the consti-tuents of EURO STOXX 50®Index, Swiss SSDFs and British SSDFs until 31 December 2013. In addition, as of 1 January 2013 until 31 December 2013, a new Designated Market-Making scheme for SSDFs on the non-constituents of EURO STOXX 50®Index will be introduced.
Eurex offers interested participants the opportunity to become Designated Market Makers for the various SSDFs packages. Designated Market Makers will ensure ongoing liquidity by providing quotes on the bid and ask side, subject to maximum spreads, for a specified minimum number of contracts in a defined number of products for a predefined period of time. In addition, Designated Market Makers will take over further obligations as to the efficient operation of the market by providing price information and be available for additional price verification at times as requested by Eurex.
In return, Eurex will grant its Designated Market Makers in each SSDFs package reimbursement of 50 percent of transaction fees for all transactions executed on M-accounts up to and including
31 December 2013.
For more details on the scheme, please refer to attachment 1. To register as a Designated Market Maker, please apply using the attached form (attachment 2).
Eurex will accept new applicants to these Designated Market-Making schemes until 15 February 2013, unless otherwise notified.
