Cboe to Offer Daily Expiries for Russell 2000 Index Options

Cboe Global Markets announced it plans to launch Tuesday and Thursday-expiring Russell 2000® Index weekly (RUTW) options and Mini-Russell 2000® Index weekly (MRUT) options, beginning Monday, January 8, 2024. With these new listings, Cboe expands its cash-settled Russell 2000 Index weekly options suite to offer investors with expirations every trading day of the week. The Russell 2000 Index is one of the world's premier benchmarks for measuring the performance of U.S. small-cap equities. The addition of Tuesday and Thursday-expiries will provide daily expirations for RUTW and MRUT options, enabling investors to potentially manage their small-cap U.S. equity exposures and execute targeted buying, selling or spreading strategies around market events with greater precision, flexibility and control. RUTW and MRUT options are European-style options (no early exercise) and cash-settled (no delivery or assignment of shares) at expiration with P.M. settlement. MRUT options are structured like standard RUTW options and similarly track the underlying Russell 2000 Index but feature a smaller contract that is 1/10th the size. MRUT offers a potentially more cost-effective way to execute small-cap equity trading strategies.
