OTC Vola Trades

Eurex Clearing supports the clearing and settlement of OTC vola trades.

The OTC Vola Trade facility allows authorized Eurex members to clear options and futures positions resulting from OTC vola trades through Eurex Clearing. They are administered like normal exchange positions by Eurex Clearing and may be closed through the regular market.

A vola trade is a trade where two parties

  • conclude an on exchange or off-exchange options transaction and
  • simultaneously or in a second step, these parties agree on the off-exchange purchase/sale of the futures contract underlying the options transaction or of the futures contract of the instrument underlying the options contract.

The number of contracts traded with an OTC vola trade must exceed a minimum amount defined by Eurex.

The OTC vola trade facility is available for the following combinations of Eurex options and futures:
