What are Cboe Magnificent 10 Options?

The Cboe Magnificent 10 Index, is a thematic, equal-weighted, broad-based index that comprises a concentrated basket of 10 growth-oriented, high-demand stocks: Broadcom (AVGO), Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Nvidia (NVDA), Palantir (PLTR) and AMD Microsystems (AMD). Derivatives on the index provide exposure similar to sector or thematic ETFs (like QQQ, NDX, or SSO). This includes all Magnificent 7 names plus Broadcom, Palantir, and AMD, selected for their market leadership, liquidity, and innovation. Both options and futures will be offered for trading in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Options on the Cboe Magnificent 10 Index will be OCC-cleared, European-style and cash-settled. They will trade both GTH and RTH. AM-Settled 3rd-Friday expiring options and PM-Settled End of Month options will be listed.

Index Differentiators:

  • Precision Exposure: the Magnificent 10 Index enables investors to express tactical views on the most dynamic segment of the U.S. equity landscape (AI, cloud, and digital transformation) without the concentration risk of single-stock trading.
  • Equal Weighting: Monthly rebalances ensure no single stock dominates, offering a more balanced alternative to market-cap-weighted indices like QQQ and MGK.
  • Fixed Constituents: The same 10 stocks remain unchanged, ensuring stability, transparency, and predictability for traders. Constituent changes occur only when triggered by a corporate action.
