Access micro-precision across the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones. Sized at 1/10th of a Micro and 1/100th of an E-mini, E-Nano futures empower active traders to manage risk and scale positions with institutional execution.
CME Group E-Nano Equity Index futures are exchange-listed, cash-settled derivatives designed to provide fractional equity index exposure on the premier U.S. benchmarks: the S&P 500 (NES), Nasdaq-100 (NNQ), Russell 2000 (NR2), and Dow Jones (NYM).
