    The notional value of your long exposure to the S&P 500 Index is $1,550,000

    Explanation:

    According to the given data The Investment considers purchasing 10 contracts at a price of 3100$.

    The notional Value is the Total amount that we actually invest and also the amount we can actually lose in case the Value of S&P500 goes to 0.

    A single contract of S&P500 is sold at 50 * (The index value/price at which it is purchased) ($3100 in this case)

    So Notional Value per contract = $3100 * 50 = $155,000.

    Therefore, since he has purchased 10 contracts, Total Notional Value = $155,000 * 10 = $1,550,000

    The notional value of your long exposure to the S&P 500 Index is $1,550,000
