Eurex, part of Deutsche Börse Group, announced today the launch of future future fulfillment at the MSCI Korea.
With this start, EUREX provides effective and cost -effective access to the Korean shares market, supporting international investors who differentiate reports worldwide in a single space. The negotiation will begin on July 14, 2025.
EUREX is today the only exchange of derivatives outside Korea that offers access to a saturated stock index. Since June 30, 2025, Korea represents 10.73% of the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) index, ranks as the country’s fourth largest distribution in the index, which records large and medium representatives in 24 EM countries.
The launch follows the conclusion of the clearing connection between Eurex and KRX (Korea Exchange). While previously focused on KOSPI derivatives that are largely used by retail investors and market launchers, the new future in the MSCI Korea index specifically serve the needs of international institutional investors. These are mainly asset administrators and property owners, as well as banks, searching for US dollars on the Korean market within the MSCI framework, enhancing the trading and effectiveness of the margin.
Ralf Huesmann, Head designing products for MSCI derivatives in Eurex:
“As a world leader in MSCI derivatives we have now added a last major part to the puzzle of our MSCI offer with the aim of covering all the developed and emerging markets worldwide.
George Harrington, a world leader of fixed income and derivatives in MSCI:
“We are pleased to work with EUREX on the start of the first contract of future fulfillment associated with the MSCI Korea Index. Designed to represent the performance of the large and medium -sized parts of Korea, which is based on methods associated with institutional investors.”
Currently, Eurex offers 146 MSCI Futures, with about half of the transaction volume focusing on the Asia-Pacific area. This regional focus is also reflected in open interest, where 45% of the total open interest of € 135 billion is linked to Asian subjects.
