Jürg Spillmann Reflects on Past, Future of Derivatives
Jürg Spillmann has led the technology revolution in the derivatives industry for 25 years. Now that he has stepped down from his post as deputy CEO at Eurex and into retirement, Spillmann says derivatives markets still have a solid future ahead.
Spillmann says the market environment and the slew of new regulations have been difficult for the derivatives markets, but futures products will remain a key financial instrument.
“I still believe that the futures and derivatives products that we provide are safe with the clearing house attached to it,” Spillmann said. “There’s a future for the products we offer.”
For Spillmann, his next chapter in life involves the tech-light sport of skiing from his home in San Moritz, Switzerland.

KIKO

KIKO is short for Knock-In Knock-Out (or Kick-in Kick-Out) contracts, which are offered in Korea. The contracts allow holders to sell dollars at a fixed exchange rate if the won moves within a certain range set out in the contract, but they are obliged to sell dollars below the market rate if the exchange rate moves outside that range.
Korean exporters dove into KIKO contracts to hedge currency risks as the won strengthened against the dollar up until the first half of 2008. The options turned into losers when the won fell 32 percent versus the dollar between the start of 2008 and spring of 2009.

KPMG’s Constance Hunter Says the Fed is True to Its Word on QE
When Constance Hunter looks at the Federal Reserve Bank and US economy, she sees some positive and negatives like all economists do. She also says the Fed didn’t fool markets when it didn’t change its quantitative easing in September. Actually, she argues that the Fed was doing just what they said they would do.
Hunter, who joined audit, tax and advisory firm KPMG as its chief economist, Alternative Investments in June, says that the markets misread Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s comments about tapering its quantitative easing program in September. In an interview with John Lothian News editor-in-chief Jim Kharouf, Hunter says the Fed has been quite direct with the bond market about its strategy, direction and potential moves over the past several months. That may strike some in the market as odd, because many in the bond market were surprised to see the Fed hold its line again in September on QE, and maintain the policy again. Here’s Hunter’s view on where the Fed is coming from on the issue of QE.
