It's NYSE to Have Options

As global markets undergo a turbulent re-rating, institutional investors are rethinking their hedging tools. In this episode, MSCI's Vasileios Koutsoulis, NYSE's Brian Gilbart and NEOS Investments' Wes Matthews discuss the growing ecosystem for MSCI EM and EAFE Index options now trading at NYSE. They cover why the building-block structure of MSCI indexes were selected for liquid derivatives markets, how volatility regimes have shifted in 2026 and how covered-call strategies are converting volatility risk premia into income for international equity investors.
