Cboe Global Markets and financial media platform Benzinga are hosting an exclusive pre-launch webinar on Thursday, November 13, 2025, to introduce the Cboe Magnificent 10 Index (MGTN), a new benchmark designed to capture the performance of leading U.S. large-cap technology and growth companies. The free virtual event will provide traders, investors, and market enthusiasts with an early look at one of the year's most anticipated index launches, featuring insights from industry experts Henry Schwartz, Vice President of Derivatives Market Intelligence at Cboe, and Gianni Di Poce, Analyst and Contributor at Benzinga.
The MGTN Index represents a significant evolution in thematic indexing by expanding upon the widely followed Magnificent 7 stocks—Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla—with the addition of three additional technology leaders: AMD, Broadcom, and Palantir. This equal-weighted approach offers market participants a broader exposure to the technology sector's most influential companies, potentially providing more diversified risk management compared to traditional market-cap weighted indices.
During the one-hour session, attendees will gain detailed understanding of the index's design methodology and how the MGTN product suite enables efficient exposure to today's growth leaders. The webinar will also cover what to expect from the upcoming launch of options and futures on MGTN, which will trade nearly 24 hours a day, five days a week, providing enhanced flexibility for global market participants. Registration for the event is available through https://www.benzinga.com/events/unveiling-the-cboe-magnificent-10-index-a-new-way-to-trade-tech-titans/.
The introduction of the Magnificent 10 Index comes at a time when investors are increasingly seeking targeted exposure to the technology sector's highest-growth companies. By including AMD, Broadcom, and Palantir alongside the established Magnificent 7, Cboe aims to create a more comprehensive benchmark that reflects the evolving landscape of technology leadership. The equal-weight methodology potentially reduces concentration risk while maintaining focus on companies driving innovation across semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data analytics.
For professional traders and portfolio managers, the upcoming derivatives products on MGTN will provide new tools for implementing sophisticated trading strategies, hedging existing positions, and gaining leveraged exposure to the technology sector. The nearly 24x5 trading schedule aligns with global market demands, allowing participants across different time zones to manage risk and capitalize on opportunities as they emerge. The webinar represents a crucial opportunity for market participants to understand these new instruments before their official launch.
