EUREX, where mainly options and futures contracts are traded, has become the largest derivatives exchange in the world. However, many private investors are reluctant to become involved in this trading venue because, on the one hand, they do not understand the products traded there and, on the other hand, because they believe that this exchange is reserved for professional market participants. The authors Eck, Langer and Riechert explain all the important basics of the products traded on EUREX and show how a private investor can also use these products to increase the performance of his portfolio.
