Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Notices wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) and the Commission on March 11, 2008, and in particular the addendum thereto concerning Principles Governing the Review of Novel Derivative Products, the Commission believes that novel derivative products that implicate areas of overlapping regulatory concern should be permitted to trade in either or both a CFTC- or Commission-regulated environment, in a manner consistent with laws and regulations (including the appropriate use of all available exemptive and interpretive authority). As a national securities exchange, the CBOE is required under Section 6(b)(1) of the Act9 to enforce compliance by its members, and persons associated with its members, with the provisions of the Act, Commission rules and regulations thereunder, and its own rules. In addition, brokers that trade GVZ Options will also be subject to best execution obligations and FINRA rules.10 Applicable exchange rules also require that customers receive appropriate disclosure before trading GVZ Options.11 Further, brokers opening accounts and recommending options transactions must comply with relevant customer suitability standards.12 GVZ Options will trade as options under the trading rules of the CBOE.13 The Commission believes that the listing rules proposed by CBOE for GVZ Options are consistent with the Act. One point or greater strike price intervals for GVZ Options should provide investors with greater flexibility in the trading of GVZ Options and further the public interest by allowing investors to establish positions that are better tailored to meet their investment objectives. The Commission notes that CBOE will compute values for GVZ underlying option series on a real-time basis throughout each trading day, and that GVZ levels will be calculated by CBOE and disseminated at 15-second intervals to major market data vendors. The Commission believes that the Exchange’s proposed position limits and exercise limits for GVZ Options are appropriate and consistent with the Act. The Commission notes that GLD options comprising the underlying components 9 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1). NASD Rule 2320. 11 See CBOE Rule 9.15. 12 See FINRA Rule 2360(b) and CBOE Rules 9.7 and 9.9. 13 See, also, discussion of listing and trading rules for GLD options. (Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57894 (May 30, 2008), 73 FR 32061 (June 5, 2008) (SR–Amex–2008–15; SR–CBOE–2005–11; SR–ISE–2008–12; SR–NYSEArca–2008–52; and SR– Phlx–2008–17) (order approving the listing and trading of options on GLD). 10 See VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:16 May 25, 2010 Jkt 220001 of GVZ rank among the most actively traded options classes. Specifically, the Exchange has represented that in 2009, GLD ranked as the thirteenth most actively traded option class industrywide, averaging 136,000 contracts per day, and the twelfth most actively traded options class on CBOE, averaging over 50,000 contracts per day. In addition, the Commission notes that the position and exercise limits for FLEX GVZ Options will be equal to the position and exercise limits for nonFLEX GVZ Options. Further, positions in FLEX GVZ Options that expire on the same day as non-FLEX GVZ Options will be aggregated with positions in Non-FLEX GVZ Options. The Commission also notes that the margin requirements for equity options will also apply to options on GVZ. The Commission finds this to be reasonable and consistent with the Act. The Commission also believes that the Exchange’s proposal to allow GVZ Options to be eligible for trading as FLEX Options is consistent with the Act. The Commission previously approved rules relating to the listing and trading of FLEX Options on CBOE, which give investors and other market participants the ability to individually tailor, within specified limits, certain terms of those options.14 The current proposal incorporates GVZ Options that trade as FLEX Options into these existing rules and regulatory framework. The Commission notes that CBOE represented that it has an adequate surveillance program to monitor trading of GVZ Options and intends to apply its existing surveillance program to support the trading of these options. Finally, the proposed rule change, the Commission has also relied upon the Exchange’s representation that it has the necessary systems capacity to support new options series that will result from this proposal. IV. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,15 that the proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2010– 018), as modified by Amendment No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.16 Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary.
