Access points offer Eurex member firms direct and high-speed network access to Eurex’s trading platform.
Currently, Eurex has five members based in Hong Kong – the newest member is Nanhua Futures (Hong Kong), which joined as a trading participant in April 2011.
Michael Peters, member of the Eurex Executive Board, said they are pleased to offer their customers a high-performance connection to their exchange in this fast-growing region.
"The launch of our new access point in Hong Kong underpins our strategy of expanding in one of the most important Asian market," Peters added.
With the launch of this new access point, Deutsche Borse and Eurex operate 14 access points in major international financial centers around the world: Amsterdam, Chicago, Frankfurt, Gibraltar, Helsinki, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Milan, New York, Paris, Singapore, Vienna and Zurich.
Eurex has been operating an access point in Singapore since 2006. Representative offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo were opened in 2009. Altogether, there are 19 members connected from the Asia-Pacific region, and several companies are in the admission process.
