FAQ

No, there will be no differentiation in fees. 

The same as now.

When Eurex decommissions the current billing infrastructure (ETA Q4 2024).

Yes, the correct value will be sent also for historical transactions after 5 June when the new fee report CB002 kicks in.

With C7 Release 9.1 CB002 will be provided in the usual report format.  There are currently no plans to publish CB002 via API. RestAPI will not be supported by Eurex, instead any API development will be based on GraphQL API.

New field FeeIdntCode to be implemented if applicable.

The entity that we expect to register is the one who does the trading and is operationally involved with trading and dealing activities and that speaks directly with the execution broker. Only investment manager level needs registering, not the individual funds underneath. 

No. The end client is invited to register themselves via Member section. A registration functionality will be available by the end of 2023. During registration, you will have to select one or more participating Brokers (Eurex Members) who will ID-tag your orders towards Eurex.

The Eurex Buy-Side Client is expected to tag their complete Eurex order flow, even for products which are currently not in scope of the disclosed fee. In the mid term, it is expected to introduce fee differentiation for most Eurex products. 

With the introduction of the fee differentiation, disclosed trades will pay a lower fee than today, and non-disclosed trades will pay a higher fee. 

Yes. On the Execution Broker level, the globally unique Client ID (LEI) ensure that the Eurex Buy-Side Client is identifiable to Eurex, regardless  which Broker the order arrives through.

On the Clearing Broker level, the fees will be charged based on the Fee Code. Therefore, regardless of the Execution Broker and the Clearing Broker, if the transaction is disclosed, finally settled on the A-Account (and if the other requirements apply), the disclosed fee will be charged. 

It is the Executing Broker's responsibility to flag the trade correctly ex-ante. If the trade is not correctly flagged, Eurex will take it as a non-disclosed trade and charge as such.

 The new fee levels will be published as soon as they have been approved by our management. We envisage this to be somewhen after the 2023 summer break.  

As we are interested in the identity of the end client, it should be down to the end clients to register, not to your affiliates. We also plan to introduce a provision in our Terms & Conditions that should prohibit affiliates of Eurex trading members to become Buy-Side Clients.
