HOW THE INSTRUMENT WORKS

Futures

A futures contract establishes exposure to a specified underlying with terms set by its trading venue. Contract size, expiry, settlement method and margin determine the position’s cash flows and operating requirements. Changes in margin can require additional collateral while a position is open.

INSTITUTIONAL FOCUS

Professional trading firms, asset managers, corporate treasury teams and other eligible institutional participants.

APPLICATIONS

Start with a specific exposure.

01

Portfolio exposure

Compare a listed contract with the exposure the institution intends to hold or offset, including the effect of contract size and currency.

02

Position hedging

Evaluate a hedge against a digital asset holding, equity-index exposure, currency requirement, interest-rate sensitivity or commodity-related cash flow.

03

Basis and expiry management

Review the relationship between spot and futures prices, the expiry calendar and the cost and operational effect of rolling a position.
