CME Group's board has raised the derivatives marketplace's quarterly dividend by 4.5%, to $1.15 from $1.10.

The new payout, equal to $4.60 a year, represents an annual yield of about 2.24% based on Wednesday's closing price of $205.46, but the Chicago company also pays an annual variable dividend that boosts it annual yield.

CME Group on Thursday said the increased dividend is payable March 26 to shareholders of record March 8.
