RTS Standard is a new front-rank cash equity market based on the high-end exchange technologies employed worldwide. The new market is targeted at a wider client base including professional market participants, institutional investors, hedge funds and individuals.
One of the major benefits offered by RTS Standard is the portfolio approach to risk management on the derivatives and cash equity markets. It opens up new opportunities for the participants holding positions on both markets and for arbitrage players in terms of reduced funding costs.
Turbulent global markets have encouraged the exchange to provide additional guarantees. Back in 2007 RTS launched the Central Counterparty technology to eliminate the counterparties’ default risks. CCP guarantees are also offered on RTS Standard.
High volatility makes the evening trading session held on RTS Standard from 7:00 pm to 11:50 pm even more attractive for individuals and professional market participants as it enables them to manage their positions with regard to the global cues after the closure of day trading on the local market. For a Russian market participant this is one of the key benefits.
