Eonia and Sonia futures contracts Liquidity Provider (LP) Scheme

There is a fee discount scheme, whereby registered individual trader mnemonics (ITMs) will receive a 15p rebate on the 25p Exchange transaction fee, reducing this to 10 pence per lot, per side on the one month Eonia® and Sonia and the three month Eonia Swap Index futures contracts.

We have also introduced a new Eonia inter-contract spread trading scheme, offering rebated fees on every Eonia swap index and Euribor leg of a spread trade.

Please contact your account manager for more information.

Euribor® & Sterling SLP Schemes

These are volume discount schemes, whereby Liffe approved Individual applicants can benefit from lower exchange transaction fees on proprietary business above defined volume threshold levels.

Exchange transaction fee calculators:

Eurodollar SLP programme

This is a fee discount programme, whereby Liffe registered individual applicants can benefit from discounted exchange transaction fees and LCH.Clearnet clearing fees.

ILP Scheme

Under this scheme registered individual applicants can benefit from lower exchange transaction fees in longer dated contract months of the Euribor®, Sterling and Euro Swiss futures contracts, that is, ("back") delivery months beyond the first year.

NB. The exchange transaction fee calculators (above) also support the ILP Scheme

NMP Scheme

The NMP scheme waives exchange fees for registered trainee traders, without prior derivatives experience for a specific period of time subject to a monthly cap.
