Amendment of the Liquidity Provider Schemes for Credit Index Futures

To further support the adoption of Global Credit Index Futures, Eurex will amend the additional incentives in the existing Schemes to include a daily cap on the volume that is counted towards the participants performance measurements in the respective schemes.

For each Liquidity Provider, the maximum volume eligible for performance measurement in the respective scheme will be set to 200 lots per day per product per expiry. Liquidity Providers with equal performance at the months end will be ranked according to their over-fulfilment of quoting requirements.

Market participants at Eurex Deutschland will still be entitled to receive monetary incentives in the form of fee rebates and additional incentives upon fulfilling the order-book quoting requirements specified in the PSS 14, 16 and 19 attached to Eurex Circular 072/24.

Further, Eurex will reduce the duration of the offered Schemes and additional incentives. All above mentioned Schemes, including rebates and additional incentives, will be terminated on 31 August 2024.
