Eurex, Europe’s leading derivatives exchange, is bringing Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) to the futures market. Partnering with Premialab, the market-leading provider of data and analytics specializing in systematic QIS indices, Eurex will launch a new segment for trading QIS index futures. This innovative offering will initially comprise a set of three index futures based on thematic strategies, scheduled to begin trading on October 27, 2025.
”By offering a centrally cleared, listed alternative to OTC swaps, we are reducing costs and complexity associated with regulations like Uncleared Margin Rules, opening these opportunities to a wider range of investors – from pension funds to asset managers.” said Elena Marchidann, MBA, CFA, Global Product Lead Total Return Derivatives at Eurex.
Adrien Geliot, CEO of Premialab added: “This partnership expands access to QIS strategies for a wider range of institutional investors, creating new opportunities for portfolio diversification. We are delighted to partner with Eurex, providing our unique data and risk analytics to support this groundbreaking market innovation.”
Elias Benzina, Head of EMEA Custom Baskets, Goldman Sachs commented: “The real innovation lies in bringing liquidity to a segment that has traditionally been confined to OTC markets. Eurex’s futures offering has the potential to foster deeper market adoption for thematic strategies, benefiting both our clients and the wider ecosystem.”
This collaboration paves the way for a more transparent, efficient, and accessible QIS market, reshaping how institutional investors approach quantitative strategies.
