Curious about adding OTC products to your hedging activities?

Discover the benefits of trading OTC with StoneX Markets (SXM) – the first non-bank swaps dealer to be provisionally registered by the CFTC.

OTC instruments from SXM Technologies

Over 300 OTC products available from ags, softs, dairy, livestock and energy to metals, forex, interest rates and equities. Learn how SXM Technologies can customize our OTC products to match your specific business risk profile and market view – from simple swaps to exotic options and structured products. Our OTC product offerings include:
  • Lookalike (or “plain vanilla”) options and swaps – the advantages of exchange-traded products in terms of strike, expiration date, and premium. OTC instruments utilize a financial/cash settlement and are traded bilaterally. On the other hand, exchange listed products utilize a physical delivery or financial settlement style and centrally clear all counterparty risk.
  • Customizable options – build on the benefits of lookalike options by adding in more customizable expiration dates, strike, or futures reference contracts.
  • Exotic options (Asian, Digital and Barrier options) – providing added customizability with the capacity to decrease upfront costs due to the ability to remove coverage when not needed by the client.
  • Structured products – typically provided by SXM at zero up-front cost, these products “accumulate” an agreed-upon short swap above the current market or a long swap below the current market within a specified range.
