Note

The Index Price used in the Carry calculation in this methodology, for futures that settle at a different time than their underlying Cash Equity Index, will be a ‘Synthetic’ Index price. This ‘Synthetic’ price will be derived by taking the Lead month futures contract minus the Cash Index at the cash close to calculate a Basis. At the futures settlement time, the Lead Month settlement minus the Basis will equal the ‘Synthetic’ Index price. The Interest Rate component used in the Carry calculation in this methodology is derived by subtracting expected dividends from a normalized interest rate curve.   

Final Settlements

39003.A. Final Settlement Price For a futures contract for a given delivery month, the Final Settlement Price shall be determined on the third Friday of such delivery month, and shall be equal to the Index closing value for the third Friday of such delivery month.

Tier 2:  If there are no spread trades on Globex between 16:29:30 and 16:30:00 BST, then the last spread trade price is applied to the lead month settle to derive the second month settle.
            If the last spread trade is outside of the spread’s Bid/ Ask, then the bid or ask price that is closer to the last spread trade is applied to the lead month settle to derive the second month settle.
