Cboe Set to Introduce Cboe Magnificent 10 Index Futures and Options on December 8, 2025

Cboe Global Markets to Launch Magnificent 10 Index Futures and Options

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), a prominent player in the derivatives trading space, is making a big announcement. On December 8, 2025, they will officially roll out futures and options trading based on the newly launched Cboe Magnificent 10 Index. This new index is tailored to monitor the price returns of ten large-cap stocks from the U.S. technology and growth-oriented sectors. It will serve as a vital tool for investors seeking to gain exposure to major players in these industries.

The Cboe Magnificent 10 Index, which started trading on October 14, 2025, is designed to include stocks that are not only sizeable but also influential in shaping the technology landscape. This index incorporates notable names such as the Magnificent Seven stocks, alongside AMD, Broadcom, and Palantir. The index is structured to be equal-weighted, ensuring that every included stock has a balanced impact on overall performance, which means that investors can have a diversified viewpoint without the need to track multiple companies.

What makes the launch particularly exciting is that investors will have the ability to manage risks with futures and options based on this index. These products are cash-settled innovations, which significantly reduce the complications of physical delivery often associated with traditional stock options or ETFs. This simplifies the trading process, enabling investors to trade with greater efficiency and less logistical hassle.

Rob Hocking, Cboe's Global Head of Derivatives, emphasized the importance of this new offering. He remarked, "Investors globally are looking for new ways to access and trade the most innovative U.S. companies. The upcoming launch of Cboe Magnificent 10 Index futures and options will deliver that opportunity." This sentiment underscores a broader trend in the financial market as more investors turn to thematic investing—an approach focusing on specific themes or sectors rather than individual stocks.

Additionally, the flexibility provided by these new trading options can benefit various strategies including tactical positioning, hedging ahead of earnings reports, and managing responses to significant market news related to tech sectors and growth potential. Steve Sanders, EVP at Interactive Brokers, noted, "Cboe continues to enhance its product line-up to meet increasing investor interest in thematic investing." This endorsement reflects a growing recognition among financial firms of the increasing demand for innovative trading products.

By listing MGTN options on the Cboe Options Exchange (C1), the new product lineup will include both AM-settled and PM-settled contracts, catering to a range of investment strategies and trading preferences. The MGTN futures, meanwhile, will be traded on the Cboe Futures Exchange, offering nearly 24-hour trading sessions, appealing to international investors who seek U.S. market access.

In an environment where market volatility is common, the introduction of the Cboe Magnificent 10 Index is poised to provide a unique combination of accessibility and transparency that will enhance trading experiences for both retail and institutional investors alike. Importantly, these products also signify Cboe's dedication to responding to evolving market needs and helping clients navigate an ever-changing financial landscape.

As Cboe plans to extend trading hours for MGTN options worldwide by early 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, the upcoming launch signifies more than just another product offering; it reflects a keen understanding of the growing investor appetite for innovative, flexible financial instruments. With significant developments like these, Cboe Global Markets continues to affirm its position as a leader in the global derivatives market.
