The
concept of futures-based risk management dates from
the mid-19th century. It was founded on agricultural
products and initially developed in the United States.
Today, the unprecedented level of futures trading
worldwide reflects its accepted and vital role as
a hedging, investing, speculating or portfolio diversification
tool.
Swiss provides immediate access to Interest Rate,
Equity Indices, Single-Stock, Energy, Metals, and
Agricultural and Foreign Currency futures markets.
Financial
Futures & Options
Today,
interest rate futures and options provide an invaluable
hedge for public and private money managers, and
trading in T-Bill, T-Bond and Eurodollar futures
represents about one-half of all futures market
activity. Individual and Institutional Swiss customers
enjoy unparalleled access, execution speed and clearing
services in this essential market.
Equity
Indices
Equity
index futures & options trading offers the investor
an opportunity to participate in significant market
moves -- in either direction -- without making individual
trading decisions on any number of single equities.
Institutional and individual investors use these
products for portfolio protection and revenue enhancement,
because the indices track very closely against the
dynamic prices of their underlying securities. Volume
in the fastest growing product in this sector, the
E-mini, is approaching $15 billion daily. E-mini
equity index futures are electronically traded as
smaller versions of stock index futures contracts.
