Industry Innovation

In 1993, Cboe revolutionized investing with the creation of the VIX Index, the first benchmark index to measure the market’s expectation of future volatility. The VIX Index is based on options of the S&P 500 Index and is recognized as the world’s premier gauge of U.S. equity market volatility.
