Why is Nasdaq making this change?

On June 30, 2016, Nasdaq acquired the International Securities Exchange, an operator of three electronic options exchanges, from Deutsche Börse Group. The acquisition will improve efficiencies for clients, expand the company’s technology offerings and create more opportunities to innovate within the equity options industry.

Nasdaq is migrating several ISE Indexes to its core Index Calculator where it currently supports over 40,000 Indexes. These Indexes will be delivered via Nasdaq standard Index files and clients will need to begin coding to the new Nasdaq ISE product format. File specifications and formats can be requested from the following email group

Nasdaq will be launching a new Index family entitlement called Nasdaq ISE which will be disseminated via the following Nasdaq dissemination channels: GIDS, GIW and GIFFD

Effective Monday, February 6, 2017, the only direct source for real-time and end of day constituent and weightings ISE Index data for the selected Indexes above will only be available via GIDS (Real Time) Constituent & Weightings End of day (GIW and GIFFD).
