500 Overview |
The
E-mini S&P 500® futures and options on futures from Chicago
Mercantile Exchange are small but powerful contracts for the individual
investor. These contracts are based on the same leading S&P 500
index as the most actively traded stock index contract in the world
– S&P 500 futures – but are a fraction of the size.
The mini enables you to participate in and profit from the benchmark
index tracked by pension and mutual funds around the country.
