Euronext Expands Derivatives Offering with Mini Options on German Stocks
Euronext has launched Mini Stock Options on German underlyings, marking a strategic expansion of its derivatives portfolio. These contracts, sized at 10 shares versus the standard 100, target both retail and institutional investors seeking granular exposure to high-value German equities.
The new instruments leverage Euronext's Optiq® platform for execution efficiency while utilizing the exchange's clearing infrastructure for risk management. Market makers will provide continuous liquidity across the product range.
Mini options significantly lower capital requirements - demanding just 10% of standard contract outlay. This innovation particularly benefits retail participants hedging positions in premium stocks without disproportionate financial commitment.
