Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami 

International Securities Exchange LLC; 

Order Granting Approval of a 

Proposed Rule Change To Adopt Rules 

Relating to Trading in Index Options 

September 27, 2017. 

I. Introduction 

On August 9, 2017, Miami 

International Securities Exchange, LLC 

(‘‘MIAX Options’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant 

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

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

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

proposed rule change to adopt rules 

relating to trading in index options. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

August 16, 2017.3 The Commission 

received no comments regarding the 

proposal. This order approves the 

proposed rule change. 

II. Description of the Proposal 

A. Overview 

The Exchange proposes to adopt new 

Chapter 18 and amend certain rules in 

the MIAX Options rulebook. The 

purpose of the Exchange’s proposal is to 

establish: (1) Trading rules enabling 

MIAX Options Members to trade index 

options on the Exchange and (2) generic 

listing standards and maintenance 

standards to permit the Exchange to list 

‘‘broad-based’’ and ‘‘narrow-based’’ 

index options on the Exchange pursuant 

to Rule 19b–4(e) under the Act.4 The 

proposed generic listing and 

maintenance standards for broad-based 

indices listed and traded on the 

Exchange require, among other things, 

that options on the index be a.m.- 

settled; that the index be capitalizationweighted, modified capitalizationweighted, price-weighted, or equal 

dollar-weighted; and that the index be 

comprised of at least fifty securities, all 

of which must be ‘‘NMS stocks,’’ as 

defined in Rule 600 of Regulation 

NMS.5 The proposed generic listing and 

maintenance standards for narrow-based 

indices require, among other 

characteristics, that the proposed 

indices must consist of ten or more 

component securities.6

In accordance with the proposal, the 

Exchange will need to file additional 

proposed rule changes with the 

Commission when the Exchange 

identifies specific products, because the 

rules related to trading options in 

indices are product specific in many 

areas.7 For purposes of this proposed
