London

Eurex, in partnership with Barclays Capital, is pleased to invite you and your colleagues to a workshop on Eurex VSTOXX® Futures and Options. The launch of the new VSTOXX®

Mini Futures (FVS) contract was on June 2, 2009 and was recently complemented by the introduction of VSTOXX® Options contracts on March 22, 2010 which has already traded over 400,000 contracts.

Numerous studies have shown that volatility is the perfect asset class for the hedge fund manager as a portfolio diversification tool. The aim of this workshop is to show that volatility can also be a source of alpha for the hedge fund manager as well as a portfolio diversifier.

The recognition of volatility as an investable and tradeable asset class was further enhanced with the launch by Barclays Capital on April 27, 2010 of the iPath® VSTOXX® Short-Term Futures Total Return ETN.

This one-day networking forum will bring investors together with project developers, energy companies and utilities to assess the latest developments - and explore the most lucrative investment opportunities - in renewable energy infrastructure.
