Greater efficiency in risk management
As part of the measures taken by B3 to make Ibovespa Options more accessible to investors, the product will have weekly expirations always on Wednesdays. Currently, expirations occurred on a monthly basis on the Wednesday closest to the 15th.
The goal is to boost the development of the Options market, creating more opportunities for investors to implement strategies with short expirations.
The increase in the frequency of expirations tends to create greater flexibility and efficiency in the adoption of new investment strategies. Thus, investors can gain more efficiency in risk management.

B3 will make new expirations available to the market, leading to new investment opportunities.
The offer of weekly expirations for Ibovespa Options is part of a series of measures to make the product more attractive to investors. With this measure, B3 creates opportunities for strategies with short expirations leading to a more efficient risk management.
Another initiative that comes along with weekly expirations is the 100-fold reduction in the size of the Ibovespa options contract. The average price of a traded contract will fall to BRL50, thus enabling the participation of more investors and the increase in the product’s liquidity.
