Index Futures
Index futures and options are represented by a variety of derivatives on RTS Index, MOEX Russia Index, Sector Indices, RGBI Index, Moscow Real Estate DomClick Index and provide a wide range of opportunities for hedging risks in stock and bond portfolios and for playing on the rise or fall of the securities market, individual sectors of the economy and the value of Moscow real estate. Index based derivatives are equally available for both investors with small funds and large market participants.
Index futures are standard cash-settled contracts that do not imply physical settlement of the underlying asset. Making transactions with index futures market participants are obliged to pay or receive variation margin – the difference between the transaction price and the futures settlement price.
