ISE continues to expand its marketplace through the ongoing development of enhanced trading functionality and new product introductions. As part of its product suite, ISE provides enhanced market data for sophisticated investors and a portfolio of proprietary indexes that serve as the benchmark for a family of related exchange-traded fund (ETF) and options products.
