Exchange also has been informed that 

the Options Price Reporting Authority 

(‘‘OPRA’’) has the capacity to support 

such new series. 

Customer Protection 

Exchange rules designed to protect 

public customers trading in options 

would apply to the new Alpha Index 

options. Phlx Rule 1026 is designed to 

ensure that options, including Alpha 

Index options, are sold only to 

customers capable of evaluating and 

bearing the risks associated with trading 

in the instruments. Phlx Rule 1024, 

applicable to the conduct of accounts, 

Phlx Rule 1025 relating to the 

supervision of accounts, Phlx Rule 1028 

relating to confirmations, and Phlx Rule 

1029 relating to the delivery of options 

disclosure documents also apply to 

trading in Alpha Index options. 

Exchange Rules Applicable 

All other Exchange rules applicable to 

Alpha Index options will also apply to 

the Alpha Index options proposed 

herein. 

III. Discussion 

The Commission finds that the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the requirements of the Act and the 

rules and regulations thereunder 

applicable to a national securities 

exchange.7 Specifically, the 

Commission finds that the proposal is 

consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the 

Act,8 which requires, among other 

things, that the rules of a national 

securities exchange be designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to remove 

impediments to and perfect the 

mechanism of a free and open market 

and a national market system and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. 

As a national securities exchange, 

Phlx is required, under Section 6(b)(1) 

of the Act,9 to enforce compliance by its 

members, and persons associated with 

its members, with the provisions of the 

Act, Commission rules and regulations 

thereunder, and its own rules. In 

addition, brokers that trade the new 

Alpha Index options will also be subject 

to best execution obligations and FINRA 

rules.10 Applicable Exchange rules also 

require that customers receive 

appropriate disclosure before trading 

any Alpha Index option.11 Furthermore, 

brokers opening accounts and 

recommending options transactions 

must comply with relevant customer 

suitability standards.12

Exchange rules applicable to Alpha 

Index options will also apply to the 

Alpha Index options proposed herein. 

As stated in the previous approval for 

the listing and trading of Alpha Index 

options, the Commission believes that 

the listing rules for Alpha Index options 

are consistent with the Act. Further, the 

Commission notes that Alpha Index 

options will be listed only on the 

specific Alpha Indexes approved by the 

Commission.13 The Exchange has 

represented that it will not list options 

on any new Alpha Indexes without 

filing a proposed rule change seeking 

Commission approval. 

The Commission notes that the 

Exchange has represented that it will 

have adequate surveillance procedures 

in place for trading in the new Alpha 

Index options. Opening price 

manipulation surveillance will be in 

place for the launch of the new options 

on Alpha Indexes and other existing 

surveillance patterns will be utilized to 

monitor trading in options on each new 

Alpha Index. In addition, for 

surveillance purposes, the Exchange 

will have complete access to 

information regarding trading activity in 

the pertinent underlying securities and 

options thereon. Further, the 

Commission believes that the 

Exchange’s proposed position and 

exercise limits for the new Alpha Index 

options are appropriate and consistent 

with the Act. 

Lastly, the Commission notes that the 

Exchange has affirmed that it possesses 

the necessary systems capacity to 

support any new series that would 

result from the introduction of the new 

Alpha Index options. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,14 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2011– 

89) be, and hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.15

Secretary.
