Index Governance
An S&P Dow Jones index committee (the “Index Committee”) maintains the SPX Futures Index. All committee members are full-
time professional members of S&P Dow Jones’ staff. The Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for including
currencies, the timing of rebalancing or other matters. The Index Committee considers information about changes to the SPX
Futures Index and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are
confidential.
The Index Committees reserve the right to make exceptions when applying the methodology of the SPX Futures Index if the need
arises. In any scenario where the treatment differs from the general rules stated in this document or supplemental documents,
notice will be provided, whenever possible.
In addition to the daily governance of the SPX Futures Index and maintenance of its index methodology, at least once within any
12-month period, the Index Committee reviews the methodology to ensure the SPX Futures Index continues to achieve the stated
objectives, and that the data and methodology remain effective. In certain instances, S&P Dow Jones may publish a consultation
inviting comments from external parties.

Background on Futures Contracts
Overview of Futures Markets
Futures contracts are contracts that legally obligate the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a
specified future time period. Futures contracts are traded on regulated futures exchanges, in the over-the-counter market and
on various types of physical and electronic trading facilities and markets. An exchange-traded futures contract provides for the
purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of an underlying asset or financial instrument during a stated delivery month
for a fixed price. A futures contract provides for a specified settlement month in which the cash settlement is made or in which
the underlying asset or financial instrument is to be delivered by the seller (whose position is therefore described as “short”) and
acquired by the purchaser (whose position is therefore described as “long”).
