CME Group Inc. (“CME Group”) recently harmonized, to the extent
possible, the rulebooks of its two subsidiary exchanges - Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (“CME”)
and Chicago Board of Trade Inc. (“CBOT”). As part of the harmonization project, changes were
made to the designations/names of the various firm memberships of the two exchanges. It is
important to note that
no changes were made to the requirements and benefits of the firm membership categories,
only to their names.
For easy reference, outlined on the following pages are the firm
membership types – new and former designations/names.
If you have any questions, please call the Audit Department at (312)
