ISE Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals Index

International Securities Exchange offers options on a cash-settled ISE Biotech and Pharmaceuticals Index (RND). This ISE proprietary index includes companies primarily engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing, producing, or marketing pharmaceuticals or other products based on biotechnology research. Many of the 20 companies represented in the Index are highly recognizable, including: Abbott Labs, Amgen, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and Merck & Company.
The index attempts to capture at least two-thirds of the entire sector's capitalization. Due to the non-uniform weight distribution across entire industries, an equal-weighted methodology or a “modified market capitalization-weighted" methodology is used to adjust the weighting of component stocks, and individual component weightings are limited to 25% at semi-annual reviews. Quarterly rebalancing events are used to “re-set” the weighting of each component so each component has an equal influence on the index performance. 
The ISE Biotech and Pharmaceuticals Index is one of eight ISE industry indexes that also include: ISE Integrated Oil and Gas Index; ISE Oil and Gas Services; ISE U.S. Regional Banks; ISE Semiconductor; ISE Gold; ISE Homebuilders and ISE SINdex. 
As of Nov. 1, 2007, there are 31 ISE index options listed.
== Contract Overview ==
Full specifications can be found at the ISE web site.
Trading hours 	9:30 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time (New York time).
Expiration months 	Four near-term months followed by one additional month from the March quarterly cycle (March, June, September and December).
Strike price intervals 	At least $2.50.
Minimum trading increments	The minimum trading increment for an options contract trading at less than $3.00 is $0.05. The minimum trading increment for an options contract trading at $3.00 or higher is $0.10.

ISE Clean Water Index

The International Securities Exchange offers cash-settled options on its proprietary ISE Clean Water Index (HHO). Index components include companies engaged in water distribution, water filtration, flow technology, and other water solutions.
== Related water instruments ==
=== ETFs on HHO ===
In February 2007, ISE announced that it had entered into an agreement with First Trust Advisors L.P., an investment management firm, to create and list exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the ISE Water Index. 
=== USFE futures on ISE Homebuilders Index ===
Additionally, the U.S. Futures Exchange (USFE) listed a futures contract on the ISE Water Index (FHHO) in 2007.
== Background on water industry ==
Companies with exposure to the global water industry have recently emerged as a compelling investment themes. Increasing privatization of water system assets, an aging infrastructure, costly new regulatory guidelines, population increases in water-stressed regions, and industry consolidation have focused attention on companies with significant exposure to water. As a natural resource with no substitute, water is considered by many to have similar characteristics to oil -- available supply is limited, and demand will increase exponentially from expanding global population and industrial demand.
== Components and weighting ==
With more than 30 underlying stocks in the index
, it uses a modified market capitalization-weighted methodology to create a more uniform weight distribution. This prevents a few large component stocks from dominating the index but still promotes portfolio diversification by retaining the
economic attributes of capitalization ranking. Semi-annual reviews and rebalancing events are used to “re-set” the weighting of each component such that each component has a proportionate influence on the index performance.

ISE Electronic Trading Index

The cash-settled ISE Electronic Trading Index (DMA) establishes a benchmark for a specialty sector within financial services. The stocks comprising the index include electronic brokers, market makers, educational firms, exchanges, and other marketplaces deemed to be most closely associated with electronic trading in the U.S. This is a proprietary index option for ISE. 
With 17 underlying stocks in the index, it uses a modified market capitalization-weighted methodology to create a more uniform weight distribution. This prevents a few large component stocks from
dominating the index but still promotes portfolio diversification by retaining the
economic attributes of capitalization ranking. Semi-annual reviews and rebalancing
events are used to “re-set” the weighting of each component such that each
component has a proportionate influence on the index performance.

ISE Gemini

ISE Gemini is the name of the International Securities Exchange's second options exchange that launched on August 5, 2013. It was approved by the SEC on July 29, 2013. ISE Gemini is a complementary platform that runs "side-by-side" with the ISE's current options platform. ISE Gemini
also uses the exchange’s existing technology backbone and established member connectivity. 
The initial market structure is almost identical to the ISE's, but with a different fee structure. It offers maker-taker pricing combined with a pro-rata and customer priority structure. 
ISE Gemini launched trading with six symbols -- Walt Disney Co. (DIS), NetApp Inc. (NTAP), Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN), Goldcorp Inc. (GG), NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), and Dow Chemical Co. (DOW) -- and plans to add additional products over the next several weeks until it has ultimately listed all of the most active options classes.
The exchange rolled out 200 additional products on September 30, 2013. ISE Gemini now lists all options classes included in the penny pilot and the most active non-penny pilot names and lists approximately 500 total products that together represent over ninety percent of equity and ETF options industry volume. 
The exchange aimed to attract “incremental business” by offering an alternative in a way that didn't cannibalize the ISE’s volume.
ISE originally filed with the SEC to launch the exchange under the working title "Topaz". The new name, "Gemini" was announced on April 11, 2013. It was chosen through an internal committee after Project Gemini, NASA’s second human spaceflight program. 
In addition to being ISE's second options exchange, ISE Gemini is the 12th for the U.S. options market. 
As of July 2013, ISE Gemini's membership includes Primary Market Makers (PMMs), Competitive Market Makers (CMMs), and Electronic Access Members (EAMs). It has 15 approved market makers.
Starting January 2, 2015, ISE Gemini introduced a new “flat” pricing structure for price improvement mechanism (PIM) auctions. With the new model, both PIM auction initiators and responders will pay the same fee of $0.05 per contract. Priority customers on the originating side of a PIM order will continue to be free.

ISE Gold Index

The International Securities Exchange offers options on a cash-settled ISE Gold Index (HVY). This ISE proprietary index tracks the combined performance of 20 publicly traded companies that own or operate gold mines, or are involved in the production of gold and related products.
== Related ISE Gold index instruments ==
Additionally, the U.S. Futures Exchange (USFE) listed a futures contract on the ISE Gold Index (FHVY) in 2007.
== Market Capitalization and Weighting ==
The Index attempts to capture at least two-thirds of the entire industry’s
market capitalization. Due to the non-uniform weight distribution across entire
industries, an equal-weighted methodology or a “modified” market capitalization-weighted
methodology is used to adjust the weighting of component stocks.
Individual component weightings are limited to 25% at semi-annual reviews for
modified capitalization-weighted indexes. This modification prevents a few large
component stocks from dominating the index and distorting an index return that is
representative of an industry sector. The modified approach promotes portfolio
diversification by retaining the economic attributes of capitalization ranking.
== ISE Gold Index Option Contract Overview ==

Trading hours 	9:30 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time (New York time).

International Securities Exchange offers options on the cash-settled ISE Integrated Oil and Gas Index (PMP). This ISE proprietary index includes companies engaged in the exploration, production, refining, marketing and transportation of oil and gas.

ISE Mercury

ISE Mercury is the third options exchange launched by the International Securities Exchange (ISE). It began operations on February 16, 2016, bringing the total number of U.S. options markets to 14. ISE Mercury offers the same customer priority/pro-rata market structure as the ISE and ISE Gemini exchanges; however ISE Mercury will use a different fee model, a payment for order flow/rebate-driven model. The other two ISE exchanges use a version of the traditional maker-taker model. Participants will access ISE Mercury through the same data center and platform as ISE and ISE Gemini. 
The addition of a third exchange with a different fee model allows ISE to compete against other exchanges with a variety of fee models and target a new segment of the options market. At its launch, ISE Mercury had 28 member firms signed up, including eight market makers. It started out with twelve symbols that were selected as the first of four phases of product rollouts.
ISE Mercury is an OCC participant exchange.
