Attached please find the updated Foreign Listed Stock Index Futures and Options Approvals Chart, current as of November 2016. All prior versions are superseded and should be discarded. Please note the following developments since we last distributed the Approvals Chart:
(1) The CFTC has approved for trading by U.S. Persons the Taiwan Futures Exchange’s futures contract based on the Nifty 50 Index.
(2) The Taiwan Futures Exchange has announced that its futures contract based on the Taiwan Futures Exchange Electronic Sector Index is now deemed a narrow-based index and therefore may only be offered and sold to U.S. persons in compliance with the applicable requirements of both the SEC and the CFTC. See note 22.
