In summary MSCI calculates over 150,000 indexes on a daily basis Eurex Exchange lists the majority of benchmarks used by fund managers worldwide Whilst there are liquid order books in a number of the major benchmarks, a number of the other regional and country specific contracts are more likely to be traded via the block trade facility These futures can be combined in such a way that clients can tailor a number of specific strategies, an example of this might be: An asset manager wishes to benchmark against MSCI ACWI ex Japan, whilst Eurex Exchange does not list this specific index future, the benchmark can be reached with the combination of the simultaneous purchase of MSCI EM and MSCI Kokusai futures contracts This adaptability, allied with the ability to use flexible trade terms, offers an exchange cleared surrogate for OTC total return swaps. 3

Growing success of MSCI indexes Development in three major steps Historically, MSCI has been the index provider of choice for the buy-side (fund managers, insurances, pension plans, endowments) seeking broad and reliable benchmarks to compare with their own performance and looking for tools to analyse risk and returns. 1. The growing success of indexation via ETFs and index swaps has brought MSCI further to the forefront of asset allocation, not only on the investment side, but also in trading. Globally, 40% of the ETF assets in equity ETFs are based on MSCI indexes. 2. With more providers of MSCI related ETFs, swaps and additional structures and a growing competition on pricing these, an increased need for cheap and efficient hedging tools (futures & options) arises. 3. MSCI estimates that about USD 9.5tn are benchmarked against their indexes 1. Around USD 385 bn are invested in equity ETFs based 2. on MSCI indexes In 2013 more than 33mn MSCI 2. Futures traded 4

Flexible Futures contracts, an alternative to TRS Flexible Futures trades can be customized regarding: Maturity day*: choose any exchange trading day between the first trading day after the trade date and the last expiration date of the standardized futures series (for MSCI futures this can be out to 3 years) Flexible Options trades can be customized regarding: Exercise price: the selected exercise price can be defined above the highest exercise price of the corresponding regular options series or may be the lowest exercise price of an option (e.g. LEPOs). Maximum strikes for Flexible Options are limited to 2.5-times the highest available standard strike Expiration day*: choose any exchange day between the first trading day after the trade date and the last expiration date of the standardized option series Exercise style: select American or European *Since the publication of "official" closing prices from MSCI takes place after Eurex Exchange s market close, MSCI futures & options Flexible Contracts functionality requires that the expiration date is in fact defined as the next business day following the original expiration day agreed between counterparties, e.g. if counterparties would like to reference the 15 March closing price, then the following business day, 16 March should be used. 14

Orderbook liquidity in MSCI futures Eurex liquidity measure (ELM) The true liquidity of an orderbook is not only measured by the number of trades, but even more by the ability to process certain trades without major market impact. Eurex Exchange calculates the Eurex liquidity measure (ELM), whereby once every minute during the day the impact of a theoretical order is measured in terms of market impact, i.e. what is the spread one has to pay for an order of a certain size. Comparison ELM of MSCI World, Europe & STOXX Europe 600-Futures Even though the futures on STOXX Europe 600 (FXXP) has much more trades compared to MSCI Europe, the impact of a 3mn EUR order would be sometimes even less in MSCI Europe than in STOXX Europe 600 Futures. The MSCI World Futures has become more liquid from an orderbook perspective in the last couple of months. As of 14 April, one was able to trade a 3mn EUR order through the book on average with a cost between 10 and 15bps. 17

Index types MSCI offers three different types of indexes MSCI calculates most of it s indexes in three different versions, depending on the way dividends are reinvested. 1) Price return indexes are not re-investing dividends 2) Net total return (NTR) indexes are reinvesting dividends, but subtracting national withholding taxes 3) Gross total return (GTR) indexes are reinvesting gross dividends, so ignoring tax reductions The community of MSCI index users is divided into two main groups: Buy-side clients use NTR indexes as their benchmarks and therefore prefer this index type for swap or futures transactions. This is clearly the bigger part of the market. The options community use price indexes, which is generally the common index version in derivatives markets. Price indexes include the dividend risk, which makes them more interesting from a trading perspective Listing either futures on NTR and options on price indexes (or in parallel even a second future on the price index as a hedging tool) will potentially split liquidity, confuse clients and create mistrades. Therefore, in the first step Eurex Exchange focused on NTR indexes, for both futures and options 26
