The Options Institute believes that academic research is a
driver of education, which is critical for Cboe's diverse customer
base. The Options Institute Research Grant
Program is designed to support research that helps catalyze
the advancement of derivatives usage and financial exchange
marketplace structures. Grant recipients will receive access to
Cboe historical data sets to bolster their research efforts in one
or more of the following research areas:
- Derivatives Products and Markets Performance
- Exchange and Marketplace Structures
- Operations and Risk Management
- Decision Theory
The Options Institute Research Grant
Program is part of Cboe's goal to operate an inclusive
global marketplace that helps all market participants better
understand financial products, market data and trading
strategies.
"Education is the key to enabling all types of investors to
access global markets and help build a sustainable financial
future," said Gina DeRaimo, Head of
The Options Institute at Cboe. "Academic research is the foundation
for innovation in our industry, and we are thrilled to have S&P
DJI and MSCI supporting our commitment to advancing new ideas
through rigorous research processes."

S&P DJI is sponsoring a named research
grant exploring dispersion as an asset class. The award recipient
may claim Cboe data sets valued up to $35,000, subject to applicable terms and
regulatory approvals. The call for proposals will open November 1.
"S&P Dow Jones Indices is proud of our ongoing collaboration
with Cboe and to sponsor this timely and essential research on
dispersion. Market outreach and investor education are embedded in
our company's DNA. S&P DJI has been providing data and analysis
on dispersion, volatility and correlation for many years and we
hope that this grant further advances and deepens the wealth of
knowledge that is so crucial in today's markets," said Bruce Schachne, Chief Commercial Officer at
S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Tim Edwards, Managing Director
and Global Head of Index Investment Strategy at S&P DJI,

influenced decision making processes in recent months, so we look
forward to seeing the recipient of this grant create a valuable
resource to help investors navigate this challenging environment
and build more effective portfolios," said George Harrington, Global Head of Fixed Income
& Derivatives, MSCI.
