Oct. 28, 2015 OSE Launch of FTSE China 50 Index Futures

 

Osaka Exchange, Inc. (OSE) is pleased to announce the launch of futures contracts on the FTSE China 50 Index (FTSE China 50 Index futures), which will coincide with the release of the next derivatives trading system scheduled for the middle of 2016.

The FTSE China 50 Index is administered by FTSE International Limited and it is composed of 50 H shares, red chips, and P chips selected based on market value and liquidity from among Chinese stocks listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. With the Chinese economy attracting greater interest, FTSE China 50 Index futures in Japan will serve the growing hedging and investment needs for Chinese stocks by offering JPY-denominated index futures on Hong Kong-listed Chinese stocks, which have high correlation with mainland equity markets.
