CME Group will launch E-mini Equity Factor Futures on September 21

Jinse Finance APP reports that CME Group, the global derivatives market, recently announced it will launch E-mini Equity Factor Futures on September 21, further expanding its equity product lineup. The new products are pending regulatory review.

Equity factors are indicators used to measure the performance of specific market characteristics, and can help investors seize growth opportunities, manage market volatility, and enhance portfolio diversification. The new E-mini futures are designed to supplement single and multi-factor strategies, bringing greater capital efficiency to risk management and relative value trading.

These products include: E-mini S&P 500 Growth Index Futures; E-mini S&P 500 Value Index Futures; E-mini S&P 500 Quality Index Futures; E-mini S&P 500 Momentum Index Futures; E-mini S&P 500 Low Volatility Index Futures; E-mini Dow Jones US Dividend 100 Index Futures.

"Market participants are increasingly turning to equity factors to configure specific elements of risk and build more targeted portfolios," said Joseph Hickey, Global Head of Equity Products at CME Group. "Our E-mini Equity Factor Futures will offer greater flexibility in gaining and managing specific factor exposure, while providing the centralized liquidity, margin clearing mechanisms, and seamless trading experience our clients rely on from CME Group."

"This reflects the strong partnership between S&P Dow Jones Indices and CME Group, and the launch of these products embodies our joint commitment to providing the market with transparent, relevant, and efficient index tools. Through new futures tied to S&P 500 factors, dividends, growth, and value benchmarks, market participants can express views more precisely, manage risk, and capture important segments of the US equity market. The launch of these new products demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing the ecosystem of tradable index solutions," said Robert Ross, Chief Commercial Officer of S&P Dow Jones Indices.

"Invesco's factor ETF lineup has already transformed how investors build portfolios and manage risk, and we are excited that CME Group will develop relevant futures derivatives around several of our ETFs tracking S&P Dow Jones Index factor strategies. As futures products evolve in synergy with the underlying strategies, the entire ecosystem will gain depth and resilience, ultimately benefiting investors," said Pratik Doshi, Head of Equity ETF Strategy at Invesco.
