Cboe (CBOE) Global Markets Unveils 24-Hour Trading to Meet Global Demand
February 3, 2025-CBOE Global Markets (CBOE) is set to redefine the U.S. equities landscape by announcing plans to extend trading to a 24-hour, five-days-a-week format on its Cboe EDGX Equities Exchange.
This bold initiative is aimed at meeting the surging global demand for continuous access to U.S. stocks, reflecting an era where transparency, liquidity, and efficient price discovery are paramount for both retail and institutional investors.
The proposal comes as traditional trading hours are increasingly seen as a constraint in today’s globalized financial markets. In a parallel move, the New York Stock Exchange-a division of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)-recently sought permission to extend its session to 22 hours each business day, underscoring a broader shift towards more flexible trading schedules. Global market participants, particularly in Asia-Pacific regions like Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Australia, are vocal in their demand for round-the-clock trading.

Middlefield Announces Approval of Proposed Changes to Reduce ESG Limitations for Two ETFs
January 30, 2025- Middlefield Limited (the "Manager"), the manager of Middlefield Sustainable Global Dividend ETF and Middlefield Sustainable Infrastructure Dividend ETF (collectively, the "Funds"), is pleased to announce that at the Special Meetings held on January 30, 2025, unitholders voted unanimously in favour of the proposed changes to the Funds
These changes include revising the names, investment objectives, and strategies of the Funds to de-emphasize the environmental, sustainability, and governance ("ESG") factors associated with the Funds. While the Funds will continue to consider ESG criteria when selecting issuers for their portfolios, they will no longer prioritize these factors over others such as valuation, growth projections, and the quality and track record of the management team. The Manager believes these changes will broaden the investment universe of the Funds, potentially leading to better returns for investors.
