In brief, the change means that the OMXS30-future will undergo daily cash settlement, rather than the previous situation of settlement on the closing date. The main benefits derived from daily settlement are that asset management will become more efficient and that the futures can be offset during their term. The future is expected to become more liquid and have a higher turnover because international adaptation will make trading by international investors easier and more attractive.
