Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice

of Filing of Proposed Rule Change by

the Chicago Board Options Exchange,

Inc. Relating to the Listing and Trading

of Options on the CBOE Latin 15 Index

April 6, 1995.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on March 20,

1995, the Chicago Board Options

Exchange (‘‘CBOE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the

proposed rule change as described in

Items I, II, and III below, which Items

have been prepared by the CBOE. The

Commission is publishing this notice to

solicit comments on the proposed rule

change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Terms of Substance of

the Proposed Rule Change

The CBOE proposes to list for trading

options on the CBOE Latin 15 Index

(‘‘Latin 15 Index’’ or ‘‘Index’’). The text

of the proposed rule change is available

at the Office of the Secretary, CBOE, and

at the Commission.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

In its filing with the Commission, the

Exchange included statements

concerning the purpose of and basis for

the proposed rule change and discussed

any comments it received on the

proposed rule change. The text of these

statements may be examined at the

places specified in Item IV below. The

CBOE has prepared summaries, set forth

in Sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of

the most significant aspects of such

statements.

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

The purpose of the proposed rule

change is to permit the Exchange to list

and trade cash-settled, European-style 3

stock index options on the Latin 15

Index, a narrow-based index created by

the Exchange.

The Latin 15 Index consists of fifteen

components, including American

Depositary Receipts (‘‘ADRs’’),

American Depositary Shares (‘‘ADSs’’),

and closed-end country funds from four

Latin American countries: Argentina,

Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.4 The

exchange represents that no proxy for

the performance of these emerging

economies is currently available in the

U.S. derivative markets, and options on

the Index will provide investors with a

low-cost means to participate in the

performance of these markets or to

hedge the risk of emerging markets

investments.

Index Design

As noted above, the Latin 15 Index

consists of fifteen components,

consisting of ADRs, ADSs, and closedend country funds. All of the

components of the Index currently trade

on the New York Stock Exchange

(‘‘NYSE’’).

The components comprising the

Index ranged in capitalization from

$77.2 million to $10.6 billion as of

March 14, 1995. The total capitalization

as of that date was $38.8 billion; the

mean capitalization was $2.6 billion;
