The new offerings will span Morningstar’s full spectrum of U.S. market coverage, including total market indices as well as large, mid, and small-cap segments. This strategic expansion follows Morningstar’s acquisition of the Center for Research in Security Prices earlier this year, a move that prompted the rebranding of the data provider’s historical stock-market indices into the Morningstar Market Indexes line.

CME executives expect these derivatives to provide market participants with enhanced tools for navigating ongoing volatility. By integrating Morningstar’s proprietary benchmarks, the exchange aims to capture broader investor demand for products linked to established equity data sets.
