E-MINI RUSSELL 2000

CME® E-mini® Russell 2000® futures are the latest addition to the CME E-mini stock index complex, joining the two fastest-growing products in the Exchange's history: the CME E-mini S&P 500® and CME E-mini NASDAQ-100® futures contracts.

For this CME E-mini contract, the benchmark index on which it is based is the Russell 2000 Index, a capitalization-weighted index of approximately 2,000 actively traded, small-capitalization U.S. stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market.

These futures offer financial institutions, investment managers, corporations and private investors a cost-effective way to manage small-cap portfolio risk as well as gain exposure to the small-cap equity market.

The Russell 2000 Index serves three main purposes:

act as a performance standard for active managers,

serve as a proxy for asset allocation purposes, and

become a purchasable and replicable vehicle for passive investment strategy.

Companies listed in the Russell 2000 Index account for approximately eight percent of the total market capitalization in the Russell 3000 Index. Only common stocks belonging to U.S. incorporated corporations are eligible for inclusion. At the time of the Index's yearly June 30th rebalancing, the top 3,000 U.S. securities are ranked by descending total market capitalization-the smallest 2,000 securities comprise the Russell 2000 Index.

Among the sectors that are tracked in the Russell 2000 Index are financial services, health care, technology, consumer discretionary and material processing.

The CME E-mini Russell 2000 futures contract trades two months in the March quarterly cycle and moves in .10 index points, or $1.00 per contract.

Trade Unit = $100 times the Russell 2000? index price
