Commercial Real Estate Futures

The Chicago Board of Trade, the No. 2 U.S. futures mart, said on Monday it will launch commercial real estate futures on Feb. 21.

The new contract, based on the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index, will allow market participants to bet on changes in the real estate sector of the stock market and manage commercial real estate exposure, the CBOT said.

The futures will reflect the value of the index, which is comprised mainly of real estate investment trusts, securities that track the underlying commercial real estate market.

Contracts will be cash-settled and trade on CBOT's electronic platform. The exchange plans a market maker program to create liquidity in the new product.


CBOT should get its product to market before the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the largest U.S. futures exchanges, launches a related product.

CME said in September it was teaming with Global Real Analytics to launch commercial real estate futures and options based on a series of GRA indexes — national and regional, and for four separate property types. A launch is still expected in the first quarter.

CME already trades a suite of housing derivatives based on the S&P/Case-Shiller home price indices.
