Financial Products News #2025 – 59 Nasdaq Announces Launch of New Index Effective Friday, October 24th, 2025
What is the new index?
The Nasdaq InspereX Dynamic Buffered High Income Index tracks the performance of a systematic enhanced collar strategy. The strategy aims to generate income through periodic selling of upside participation using Nasdaq-100® (NDX®) Index call options, typically with five days to expiration, and delta replicated long put options using the Nasdaq-100 Futures Excess Return™ Index (NDXNQER™) to provide downside protection.
The Nasdaq InspereX Dynamic Buffered High Income Option Only Index measures the performance of only the option portion (short call and synthetic put) of the Nasdaq InspereX Dynamic Buffered High Income Index.
The Nasdaq InspereX Dynamic Buffered High Income Distribution Only Index is an income index that measures the performance from the total cash received from selling call options and dividends from the Nasdaq-100® Index component of the Nasdaq InspereX Dynamic Buffered High Income Index.
