The 15 global stock derivatives will feature those of Alphabet Inc, Microsoft, China Mobile, Amazon.Com, ExxonMobil Corporation, Johnson and Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, General Electric Company, AT&T Inc, Bank of America and Procter and Gamble Company.
IFSC is short for International Financial Services Centre.
There will also be day spread contracts in F&O of all these underlyings -- instead of two transactions to be done to roll over a contract to the next month series, it can be done as one transaction. This will bring down cost and risk of only one leg getting executed.
