Get ready to expand your options for Micro-sized trading: CME Group’s Micro E-mini options on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indices will launch August 31, 2020.* Add the flexibility and limited downside risk of options in a smaller notional size that requires less margin and premium to trade.
*Pending CFTC regulatory approval.
Why trade CME Group’s Micro E-mini Options:
1. Smaller size lets you fine-tune exposure
These options settle into Micro E-mini futures, which are 1/10th the size of E-mini futures and offer the access to the same underlying market. The smaller size enables you to fine-tune your index exposure for greater control over the risk/reward ratio of your investment.
2. More flexibility to build strategies
You can build the same market neutral, directional and multi-leg strategies as with equity options, creating more market opportunities. The choice of quarterly, serial, Friday weekly, and end-of-month expirations provides flexibility to manage risk around market events and economic announcements.
3. More efficient use of your capital
If you trade other CME Group Equity Index products, your overall margin payment may be reduced via risk offsets between contracts. And options on Micro E-mini futures also have potentially lower trading costs than a basket of equities or ETFs.
4. Exercises into liquid futures
Micro E-mini futures are the most successful product launch in CME Group history, trading nearly 330M contracts as of July, 2020. Options give you more ways to diversify how you take part in these active markets.
