Eurex is expanding its range of global index derivatives in partnership with FTSE Russell, the global index provider. From June 3, Eurex will launch futures contracts on the FTSE All-World index.

Eurex index derivatives, covering global, national and pan-European indices, are already the most diversified in the industry.

The FTSE All-World Futures will be the first derivatives contract listed in Europe covering shares from the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (FTSE GEIS).

The FTSE All-World Index is a capitalization-weighted index representing the performance of approximately 4,000 large- and mid-cap stocks from the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, with a total market capitalization of USD 73 trillion. The FTSE GEIS Series, launched in September 2003, covers more than 19,000 stocks in 49 countries, representing 99 percent of global investment capitalization.

The new FTSE All-World Futures will be denominated in USD and tradable from 01:00 CET (8am Hong Kong / Singapore) to 22:00 CET, also covering the full trading day in the US and Asia.
