12 CME GROUP HEADQUARTERS 20 South Wacker Drive Chicago, Illinois cmegroup.com CME GROUP GLOBAL OFFICES Chicago New York London Singapore Calgary Hong Kong Houston São Paulo Seoul Tokyo Washington D.C Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. All references to options refer to options on futures.
