European Manager Enters First Sizeable Options Trade On OMX30 ESG

European asset manager Swedbank Robur on Monday booked its first sizeable trade using Nasdaq’s options contracts on the OMX Stockholm 30 ESG index. The manager collaborated with the U.S. exchange to launch the product earlier this month. The trade involved rolling existing in-the-money calls from the standard OMX30 index to OMX30 ESG with lower volatility. The trade was made by Magnus Linder, responsible for derivatives trading and portfolio optimization at Swedbank Robur.
