RTS is the first exchange in Russia to offer netting for trades executed without full preliminary asset deposition. RTS is heavily involved in development of trading technologies creating a favourable environment for growth of transactions' profitability and effectiveness.

In September 2007 RTS implemented the CCP technology, which is widely used by the leading international exchanges on equity and derivatives markets. RTS trading data is disseminated to a large number of Russian and global clients and is the basis for calculation of the RTS Index, the main benchmark of the Russian equity market. -- www.rts.ru
