OTC property derivatives to launch in Australia

A deal paving the way for an Australian over-the-counter property derivatives market was announced yesterday between RP Data, Rismark International and GFI.

The derivatives contracts will be based on house price indexes provided by Sydney real estate investment firm Rismark International and Queensland property information provider RP Data, and will be sold by the global derivatives broker GFI Group.

The indexes will be released on a monthly and quarterly basis and will include the first commercially available hedonic indexes, which provide detailed information, such as the number of bedrooms and the area of the property.

The indexes are expected to be launched in the next couple of months.
