Introduction
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) now offers Mini-SPX options, based on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
Key features of Mini-SPX options include the following:
- The ticker symbol for Mini-SPX options is XSP.
- Mini-SPX options have 1/10th the value of the S&P 500® (SPX) Index options (e.g. if the S&P 500 Index is at 1235.00, the Mini-SPX would have a value of 123.50, and notional value covered by the Mini-SPX options (with a $100 multiplier) would be $12,350).
- The last trading day for Mini-SPX options generally will be on the business day (usually a Thursday) prior to the third Friday of the expiration month.
- Mini-SPX options trade on CBOE's Hybrid 2.0 Trading System, which includes Remote Market Makers. Trading XSP options on CBOE's Hybrid Trading System offers investors a smaller-sized S&P 500 contract with the combined advantages of electronic trading and the open-outcry market on a single platform.
