More Choices With Euronext’s Single Stock Dividend Futures
Single Stock Dividend Futures are exchange-traded derivatives contracts that allow investors to take positions on dividend payments.
Euronext’s Single Stock Dividend Futures complement its existing dividend index future offering (CAC 40 Dividend Index Future and AEX Dividend Index Future), giving market participants additional investment strategies.

Single Stock Dividend Futures- a class of their own
Dividends are a key component for holders of equity and equity derivatives and are used mostly as a hedging tool. However, dividends are also becoming an asset class of their own: a dividend investment can be seen as corresponding to an equity investment, while often proving more resilient and less volatile than stocks.
