Eurex’s index derivatives products, which covers global, national, and pan-European indices, is already the most diversified in the industry.
The FTSE All-World Futures will be the first derivatives contract listed in Europe covering stocks from the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (FTSE GEIS).

The FTSE GEIS series, launched in September 2003, covers over 19,000 stocks in 49 countries, representing 99 percent of the world’s investable market capitalization.
The new FTSE All-World Futures will be denominated in U.S. dollar and will be tradable from 01:00 CET (8 a.m. Hong Kong / Singapore) to 22:00 CET, also covering the full trading day in the U.S. and Asia.
