CME GROUP INC.
CME GROUP INC. is a registered legal entity registered in United States under C61824162, and its current status with Illinois Secretary of State is active. The company was incorporated on 25 September 2001 and lists its registered address as CHICAGO, United States. 5 shareholders are on record for CME GROUP INC., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Illinois Secretary of State and was last updated on 15 October 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for CME GROUP INC., reflecting the stock ledger kept by the company under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 16% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Blackrock Inc. at 11.3%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 20 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
| Shareholder | Type | Holding | Source Document |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanguard Group Inc | 16% | Illinois Secretary of State | |
| Blackrock Inc. | 11.3% | Illinois Secretary of State | |
| JP Morgan Chase & Company | 7.7% | Illinois Secretary of State | |
| State Street Corporation | 7.7% | Illinois Secretary of State | |
| Capital International Investors | 6.7% | Illinois Secretary of State |
Officers
5
The Managing Director Of Investor Relations of CME GROUP INC. currently on record is John C. Peschier; five officers are currently on record for CME GROUP INC., filed with Illinois Secretary of State.
The register reports 41 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at CME GROUP INC. sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
CME GROUP INC. has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 32 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 5 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 32 subsidiaries span United States, China, United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Eight of the 32 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
