CME Group Launches New Options on Dividend Index Futures

CME Group, a leading derivatives marketplace, has announced the upcoming launch of options on Annual Dividend Index futures, set for January 29, subject to regulatory approval[^1^]. This expansion comes as a response to the growing client interest in tools for managing dividend exposure and crafting investment strategies. The trading of over 900,000 contracts in the S&P 500 Annual Dividend Index futures during 2023 has reinforced the success of CME Group’s dividend futures and paved the way for the introduction of these new options[^1^][^3^].
