Trading DAX with ease
The Mini-DAX® Futures is designed in parallel to the established DAX® Futures contract. Mini-DAX® gives global investors the opportunity to hedge and get exposure to the German benchmark index with a contract value five times smaller than the regular contract.

| 1) No Management Fee | Pay no management fee when you trade FDXM futures vs. DAX 40® ETFs |
| 2) Capital Efficiency | Mini-DAX® futures margin is more capital efficient comparing it to the direct investment in DAX 40® ETF's |
| 3) 24/5 Trading Access | Nearly 24/5-access means additional trading and hedging opportunities during events ie. Brexit, German elections |
| 4) Tactical Trading Tool | Short-term strategy based on anticipated market trends |
| 5) Minimal Tracking Error | FDXM futures track the underlying index very accurately |
Mini-DAX® futures offer a variety of advantages in comparison to CFD’s and warrants on DAX 40® Index:
| 1) Exchange Traded | Mini-DAX® futures trade on a regulated exchange platform (Eurex) with an independent exchange surveillance |
2) Transparent Pricing | Eurex offers transparent trading & clearing services, including a central counterparty system with reduced counterparty risk |
