Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has expanded its licensing agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) to include the MSCI Taiwan 25/50 Index.
This follows the original licensing agreement of the wholly-owned subsidiary Hong Kong Futures Exchange’s (HKFE) with MSCI to license a suite of indices in Asia and emerging markets.
Wilfred Yiu, head of markets at HKEX, said: “With these latest products, we will complete the current phase of the MSCI futures suite and actively help support our customers in migrating their open interest to HKEX.”
“This reflects HKEX and MSCI’s commitment to building Hong Kong’s derivatives market and to supporting the global trading community in the region,” he added.
HKEX expects to complete the listing of all MSCI futures contracts on 28 September, with the planned launch of the MSCI Singapore Free, MSCI Japan, and MSCI Japan Net Total Returns Index Futures.
