Eurex is set to launch single-stock futures (SSFs) and single-stock dividend futures (SSDFs) on Japanese equities, marking its first expansion of equity derivatives into the Asia Pacific region.
The products will launch on 2 November 2026 with 10 Nikkei 225 stocks, with further additions planned throughout 2027.
SSDFs will be available in Japanese yen, while SSFs will be offered in both yen and US dollars.
The contracts will be centrally cleared through Eurex Clearing and traded on Eurex’s regulated market.
Clients will be able to trade SSFs and SSDFs together to replicate total-return strategies or trade each product separately.
Matthias Graulich, head of Global Products & Markets at Eurex, says: “For the first time, we are extending our proven infrastructure for equity derivatives to Asian underlying assets — giving global market participants a single, deep liquidity pool as well as the capital efficiency of central clearing.”
