Nasdaq Dubai, (UAE), announced this Monday that it is launching a campaign to promote trading in equities futures. The campaign is being launched in collaboration with Brokerage House Securities (BHS) – a broker based in the UAE.
A statement released by Nasdaq Dubai indicates that the campaign will largely be composed of various educational materials. For instance, the stock exchange operator will be holding seminars at its MarketSite event space, of that famously kitsch city – Dubai.
Alongside this, Nasdaq Dubai and BHS will be holding workshops to educate traders on equities futures trading. The two companies will also be releasing videos that highlight the benefits of equities futures and detail how one goes about trading them.
Based on Nasdaq Dubai’s statement, it seems likely that the benefits discussed will include the ability to use leverage and hedging against other investments. The statement also noted that futures could be used to manage cash flow and make gains in a falling market.
