Options brokers in France for index options
4 brokers offer index options such as SPX and NDX for residents of France. The same facts for each: fees, approvals, countries.
Index options such as SPX settle in cash, and SPX options can only be exercised at expiration, so no shares change hands and there is no early assignment. XSP is one tenth the size of SPX, for a smaller position. Many brokers add a separate fee per contract on index options, so check it next to the regular option fee. 4 brokers list index options for residents of France.
