Archived presentation on how to take advantage of the opportunities available in the interest rate product sector at CME Group.

CME Group has developed several unique new tools to help you maximize capital and operational efficiencies. These tools also provide access to our deep pools of Interest Rate liquidity and open interest. The presentation discusses how to enhance your risk management and trading strategies with some of our new Interest Rate products and services:

  • The Financial Instrument Clearing Membership (FICM) — Developed for the purpose of facilitating Interest Rate futures and U.S. Treasury securities basis and yield curve spread trading, FICM allows for significant futures margin offsets for opposite positions of U.S. Treasury securities and CME Group Interest Rate futures
  • On-The-Run (OTR) U.S. Treasury Futures — Offer broader access to the price volatility and risk management associated with cash market OTR treasuries
  • Sovereign Yield Spread Futures: Provide direct exposure to sovereign bond spreads in a single trade, eliminating the need to manage separate long and short positions

  • Robin Ross, Managing Director, Interest Rate Products
