Outline Challenge: Swap products difficult to capture via futures transaction based settlement required Product needs to be tradable any day and mimic the pay off profile of a Variance Swap Solution: Futures concept moves individual transactions into a standard product like EURO STOXX 50 Index futures Variance Futures with a standardvariance strike, fixed start date and expiration At the end of the trading day all transactions are settled towards the standard futures Traded in notional Vega and volatility Converted into Variance Futures and settled in variance 3

Vega to Variance Vola Strike to Futures Price During the day, the product trades in notional Vega at volatility strikes On trade match, the notional Vega of the trade will be converted into a position in Variance Futures and the traded volatility strike will be converted into a Futures price, HOW: First, the traded volatility strike is converted into variance and adjusted for the historical variance of the (running) standard Futures: 2 = + The traded strike will now be converted into the standard Futures: = + (C**) The notional Vega will be converted into Variance Futures, also adjusted for the history of the (running) standard Futures. The amount is dependent on the traded price = 2 ( ) ( ) ( ( )) Variance Futures are implemented using T= amount of Variance observations T Variance Futures =(Total Days-1) Variance Swap * Discount Factor and Accumulated Return on Modified Variation Margin (ARMVM) account for NPV effects when buying into an existing contract ** The constant keeps the Futures price out of negative territory 5

NPV effects Accumulated return on modified variation margin (ARMVM) is defined as: = ( ) + ( ) ( ( ( ) -1) The second term captures the daily cost of carry of the economic value of the swap. This represents the cost of carry of margin payments as the initial value of a swap is zero and hence the price of the (non) standard futures is zero. Therefore, the constant has to be removed, as well At first trading day of the standard futures contract ARMVM = 0 The first term compounds this daily cost of carry over time ARMVM aligns the OTC P&L with the Variance Futures P&L: OTC Variance Futures (realized variance variance strike) (realized variance variance strike) carry profits from variation margin payment + carry losses from variation margin payments The discount factor NPVs the expected value of the standard swap between today and maturity = ( ) ARMVM 6

Trade Example Trade in an OTC Variance Swap on 15 July 2011 100,000 Vega at 24% volatility 2,083 Variance units 576 Variance strike At settlement on 19 September 2011: Final realized Variance: 1,633 (40.41% volatility) Equity amount: (1,633 576) * 2,083 = 2,201,373 Trade in Variance Futures on 15 July 2011 100,000 Vega at 24% volatility 3,056 Variance Futures at a price of 3,059.4047 The Futures: Total life time : 67 days Accrued days : 22 Remaining life time: 45 days Standard strike : 21.68% At settlement on 19 September 2011: Final settlement price = 3,778.3708 Cumulative variation margins: (3,778.3708-3,059.4047)*3056 = 2,196,840.98 + Cumulative ARMVM (ARMVM T ARMVM t ) * 3056 = 5,159.14 - Discount of the standard swap in t: (1-D t )*(traded variance standard strike) * number of futures = 627.50 Total P&L: = 2,201,373»The difference between implied and realized volatility of 16.41% points results into a 2.2mn profit 8

Standardization & Fungibility (1/2) Variance Futures are standardised in two dimensions: Maturity: Variance Futures will have the same maturities as the related Options products Variance Strike: Each Maturity will have a standard variance strike that is set on the first trading day based on market level Each individual trade will be converted into a position in the standard Variance Futures contract with the respective maturity: The economics of the spot starting Variance Swap are converted into a Futures with a history The traded Volatility strike is converted into the standard Volatility (variance-) strike of the Futures Variance Futures are fully fungible and can be traded in and out at any point during their life time 9

Standardization & Fungibility (2/2) Trading and Clearing in different notations involves conversions from Vega to Futures and from volatility strikes to Futures prices Variance Futures Prices contain two major elements: The realized variance from the start day of the contract until the trade day The implied variance resulting from the traded volatility strike In order to replicate a Variance Swap trade that starts with the first underlying price observation at the end of the trading day, trades need to be converted twice from volatility to Futures prices: 1. Intraday after a trade match: into PRELIMINARY Futures prices 2. End of day: into FINAL Futures prices that include the realized variance until the end of the trading day At Eurex, these conversions are done by the Trading System T7 Matched trades are reported to the clearing system in Futures only; the clearing and position keeping takes place in Futures only 10

Comparison: Variance Futures vs. Variance Swap The Variance Futures yield the same P&L like the equivalent OTC Variance Swap: 1. Buy futures on first trading day and hold until maturity 2. Buy futures after first trading day at market price level and hold to maturity In the following trade scenarios the P&L in Variance futures may differ from the equivalent OTC P&L: 1. Buy futures on first trading day and sell prior to expiry at market price level 2. Buy futures after first trading day at market price level and sell prior to maturity at market price level Compared to an early terminated Variance Swap, the Variance Futures that is sold before maturity includes the EURO STOXX 50 price point at the end of the day of the termination 11

Summary The Variance Futures converts the pay off streams resulting from different OTC Variance Swap transactions and convert them into a (uniform) pay off stream resulting from a standardized product using daily margining The standardization creates fungibility Selling the contract before maturity adds an additional price point to the final realized variance. Other than the OTC convention the closing of the position includes the EURO STOXX 50 price at the end of the trading day into the calculation of the realized variance 12

Product details Price conversion Standard strike On-exchange trades are converted twice: 1. Upon matching from volatility into a preliminary futures price 2. End of day into the final traded futures price. This factor in the realized variance until end of day (starts the variance observation at the end of the trading day) 3. On the first trading day trade matches are generally converted to a futures price of 3000, intra day. The first conversion according to the formulas takes place end of day The standard strike will be determined on the first trading day and be equal to the settled implied volatility»1 st settlement price in the futures = 3000 Interest rates ARMVM will be calculated using the EONIA rate, settled at 19:00 CET on the previous day The discount factors are calculated using EURIBOR rates, fixed at 11:00 CET and interpolated to the respective maturity of the futures (see backup for the interpolation formula) Market disruptionevent 1) STOXX fails to provide an index closing level 2) Eurex Exchange fails to open for trading during scheduled trading hours 3) Other market disruption events according to the European OTC standard 13

Clearing concept Overview In order to replicate the pay-off profile of an OTC Variance Swap the conversion from vega to futures has to take place at the end of the day, when the EURO STOXX 50 closing price is available Intraday, Eurex Exchange converts order book trades from vega to futures at a preliminary futures price End of day, the preliminary trades are automatically cancelled and replaced by trades based on the original vega notional and volatility strikes, but with a futures price that considers the EURO STOXX 50 close in its realized variance The futures quantity will not change between intraday and end of day The method to replace the futures price end of day is Cancel/Rebook Block trades can be entered only after the close during the Post Trading Full phase Trade and position adjustments can be done only after the close during the Post Trading Full phase 16

Cancel/Rebook Set up Order book trades will be executed in T7 in vega at volatility strikes and will be converted intraday in futures/-price and quantity Clients will receive trade confirmations from T7 in real time for order book transactions in vol/vega and in futures at PRELIMINARY futures prices The futures will be calculated using previous day s parameters. Only time will be updated, intraday. Time to maturity will be reduced and passed observation days will be increased Clients will receive transaction confirmations from the clearing system for position transactions in real time in futures and PRELIMINARY futures prices Intraday: There will be no live futures price available. It can be calculated using the live volatility quotes and the intraday conversion parameters provided by Eurex Exchange EoD: T7 will calculate the realized variance INCLUDING the EoD closing price of the EURO STOXX 50 Original trades will be cancelled in the clearing system Trade confirmations for the rebooked trades will be sent in vol/vega and in futures with FINAL futures prices Transaction confirmations from the clearing system will be sent in futures with FINAL futures prices EoD Variation Margin will be calculated based on final trade price and EoD settlement price of futures Maturity: The futures settles against the EURO STOXX 50 final settlement price at 12:00 CET on the third Friday of the expiration month. However, no trade/positionadjustments will be allowed until Post-Trading Full phase on the matury day Clearing fees are charged in EUR per futures and also reported accordingly 17

Cancel/Rebook Intraday situation Conversion parameters will be known from the start of day: All parameters as of yesterday s settlement price, except: Time to maturity: -1 day Elapsed days: + 1 day Calculation of margin based on futures and INTERIM futures prices Intraday margin monitoring is done by Eurex Clearing Based on the change in position by the preliminary trade, there can be a real time margin call, if applicable The trades are always booked as open so that preliminary and cancel trades are position-neutral Client s back office receives: A transaction confirmation from the clearing system with futures quantity and INTERIM futures price The confirmation will be marked to indicate the trade to be preliminary The trade adjustment indicator will be set to not adjustable Margin call, if applicable Limitations Block trades can be entered AFTER the final conversion parameters are available (~18:30 CET) Trade/position adjustments can be done after intraday trades are cancelled and re-booked (~18:30 CET) There are no trade/positionadjustments allowed on historical trades either (before ~18:30 CET) 18

Cancel/Rebook End of day situation Conversion parameters are available and the end of day settlement price is calculated Order book trades that took place during the day are converted again into futures and traded futures prices based on end of day parameters Original trades (FreeText1 = PRELIMINARY) are AUTOMATICALLY cancelled The cancel message will contain the Eurex Original Order ID (containing the T7 Order ID) New transaction confirmations are AUTOMATICALLY sent based on the FINAL futures prices The new trade will be marked as final trade (FreeText1 = FINAL_) The new trade will contain the Eurex Original Order ID (containing the T7 Order ID) The transactions can be linked in the Eurex Clearing GUI by the Eurex Original Order ID With the beginning of the Post Trading Full phase the following is allowed: Block trades can be entered Trade/position adjustments can be done Variation Margin is calculated based on the futures A separate trade report contains for all transactions: (original) vega, vol strikes, futures quantities and final traded futures prices 19

Special First trading day of a new contract On the first trading day of a new contract month there are no conversion parameters from the previous day that can be used for the preliminary conversion, intraday The futures starts with ARMVM = 0 Realized variance (σ 2 realized) = 0 Using settled implied volatility at the end of the day = standard strike for the new contract month creates a starting point of the new futures of 3000: = + =0 =0 The preliminary prices that are matched during the day will all be set to 3000, the settlement price in the futures During the end of day conversion, the final trade prices will be calculated, using the settlement volatility as a standard strike 27
