Founded in 1973 as the first U.S. exchange for listed options,
Cboe in 2023 has expanded well beyond its origins to become a
global powerhouse, operating markets in equities, options, futures,
foreign exchange (FX) and digital assets across North America, Europe and Asia
Pacific. Today, Cboe remains driven by the same passion and
entrepreneurial spirit that guided its inception as it builds on 50
years of market-leading innovation and advocacy to position for its
next chapter of growth.
Marking Next Chapter with New Corporate Brand
Identity
With its 50th anniversary celebrations, Cboe has
launched a new visual identity, refreshed website and global
brand campaign recognizing its place as "The Exchange for the World
Stage." This reinvigorated brand identity reflects the truly
global, expansive and vibrant company Cboe has become today – while
signaling its vision for the future and its continued commitment to
building a trusted and inclusive global marketplace that serves all
investors, both now and in the future.
"Since day one, Cboe has been driven by a unique vision and an
unwavering commitment from all of our associates to continually
innovate to meet the evolving needs of the global financial
landscape," said Ed Tilly, Chairman
and CEO of Cboe Global Markets. "From pioneering options and
volatility trading to introducing new technologies and market
models, Cboe has transformed the way market participants transfer
risk and build capital. Today, building trusted markets remains
central to our mission even as we continue to expand our business.
Our new brand identity embodies a renewed sense of energy and
purpose, focused on driving change, innovation and global
connections that will serve our customers well into the future. We
are proud to celebrate our 50-year legacy and showcase to the world
who we are today – the Exchange for the World Stage."
"Cboe's enduring success over the past half-century is reflected
in the unrivaled positions that we hold today in nearly every major
market around the world," said David
Howson, Global President of Cboe Global Markets.
"After reporting record results in 2022, we are excited to
mark our 50th anniversary alongside many other notable
achievements across our business this year. This includes our
continued success in global derivatives and equities, all-time high
market share in global FX, the expansion of our global listings
business and data and analytics platforms, as well as our recent
entry into digital assets. We are extremely proud of our people –
past and present – who have helped build an incredible legacy and
continue to lay the foundation for Cboe's future success for many
years to come."
Commitment to Building a Sustainable Future
In honor of its 50th anniversary, Cboe will donate a
total of $500,000 to five different
non-profit organizations, each exemplifying one of Cboe's guiding
principles: Inclusive Collaboration, Active Transparency,
Competitive Team Spirt, Superior Service and Good Citizenship.
Today, Cboe announced its first $100,000 donation to the Alzheimer's Association,
a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, education and
advocacy for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Representatives from the Alzheimer's Association will attend Cboe's
opening bell-ringing ceremony in Chicago to accept the donation in honor of
Inclusive Collaboration. The Alzheimer's Association was selected
by Cboe's associate base for its commitment to uncovering new
voices and making space for different perspectives by encouraging
research diversity, embracing new technologies, engaging with
caregivers and patients, and collaborating with other
organizations.
"As a global company, Cboe remains ever cognizant of the growing
impact that we have on the world and are committed to being a good
corporate citizen," said Chris
Isaacson, Chief Operating Officer of Cboe Global Markets.
"We recognize that our success is deeply interconnected with the
local communities where our customers and associates live and work
– and we couldn't be more pleased to give back to our communities
through our own initiatives, as well as through supporting other
important organizations that help deepen our global and
philanthropic impact. As Cboe enters the next phase of its growth,
our commitment to creating a sustainable future for all
participants will remain a key pillar of our corporate mission and
success."
Underscoring its commitment to environmental sustainability,
Cboe has also collaborated with EcoMatcher to plant over 1,600
trees across the globe – each tree representing the individuals
that make up Cboe's global associate base. Cboe plans to announce a
new $100,000 anniversary donation
monthly for the next four months.
"Working together with these organizations enables us to make a
positive impact on the world. When we invest in the well-being of
others, we enrich not only their lives but also our own bottom
line, creating a more sustainable and prosperous future for
everyone touched by the Cboe community," said Brian Schell, Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer of Cboe Global Markets. "As we celebrate our 50th
anniversary, we are grateful to our Board of Directors,
shareholders, customers, industry partners and global associate
base for their contributions to Cboe's 50-year evolution and
dedication to shaping what the next 50 years will bring."
