What you need to know:

Effective Monday, April 22nd, 2024, Nasdaq will begin disseminating the following new indexes on Nasdaq Global Index Watch (GIW) and the Nasdaq Global Index Data ServiceSM (GIDS).


What are the new indexes?

The Nasdaq-100 Daily Covered Call Target Premium 15% Index (NDXDCP15) tracks the performance of a systematic at-the-money covered call strategy. The strategy aims to generate a specific target annual income via short positions of at-the-money Nasdaq-100® Index call options sized based on the coverage ratio. These options typically have one day to expiration.

The Nasdaq-100® Daily Covered Call Target Premium 15% - Call Only Index (NDXDP15C) measures the performance of only the short call portion of the Nasdaq-100® Daily Covered Call Target Premium 15% Index (NDXDCP15). The Call Only Index includes a cash account but does not include a long underlying Nasdaq-100® Total Return Index position.

How are the Indexes disseminated?

On Monday, April 22nd, 2024, data recipients will receive real-time index information from the proprietary GIDS data feed with the following attributes:

Instrument ID Instrument Name Currency Frequency FP Type
