ASX to Launch Mini SPI 200™ Index Futures (ASX/S&P 200 index)
Participants are advised ASX intends to launch Mini SPI 200™ futures (AM) contracts on Monday 12 October 2015 on
ASX Trade24, subject to regulatory approval. The Mini SPI 200™ futures will be like the parent SPI 200™ futures (AP)
except they will have a $5 tick value as opposed to $25. The first expiry month to be listed will be the November 2015
contract.
The contracts are expected to strengthen ASX’s current suite of Equity Futures contracts and allow for greater trading
opportunities of existing clients whilst also enticing new customers. The benefits of the Mini SPI 200™ contracts come
with the smaller contract value allowing for more granular trading and risk management.
Further details on the Contract Specifications can be found here.
What do I need to do and by when?
ASX will release a technical notice shortly outlining the dates whereby participants can perform testing on the new
futures contract.
Customers and firms interested in market making are welcome to contact Gregory Pill on +612 9227 0696 or
