OPTION SETTLEMENT
The exercise-settlement value, is calculated using the opening sales price in the
primary market of each component security on the last business day before the
expiration date.
You can track the settlement price of the major indices using the following ticker
symbols – SET for SPX, RLS for RUT and NDS for NDX.
The settlement price determined on Friday is often different from the closing
price of the index on Thursday when the market closes, which presents a risk to
the investor holding the option into the settlement period.
