KUALA LUMPUR, 3 AUGUST 2020 – Kenanga Futures Sdn Bhd’s annual retail campaign is back. Coined ‘Into The Future’, the campaign aims to reward new and existing customers who trade derivatives contracts in Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad (“BMD”), CME Group Products (“CME”) and Hong Kong Futures Exchange (“HKFE”), from 1 August 2020 to 31 October 2020.
For this year, the Campaign rewards traders who execute the highest number of contracts with up to RM30,000.00 worth of prizes, which include latest iPhones and cash prizes.
“In the wake of rapid digitisation, the ‘’Into The Future’’ campaign this year will be boosted with a new digital gamification component designed to connect with the younger trader segment. Look out for the game on our website and social media pages. For those who are new to derivatives and keen to learn more, fret not as education will remain the central theme and just visit the Kenanga Futures website for more derivatives content during this period. The Campaign themed “Into The Future”, is premised on our invitation to our audience to start planning and shaping a better financial future for themselves. Amidst the current volatility, there is no better time to diversify and hedge through derivatives, especially with our platform KDF TradeActive™, which offers the seamless convenience of executing trades on the go,” said Azila Abdul Aziz, Chief Executive Officer/ Executive Director and Head of Listed Derivatives, Kenanga Futures Sdn Bhd.
“We are incredibly heartened that our continuous education and promotional initiatives, have helped yield positive traction. Volume from retail participation this year so far, accounts for almost one third of the entire market volume, 10% increase from 3 years ago,” remarked Ms Azila.
Following this campaign, Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad is expecting the volume of traders to grow at a healthy pace as the year progresses. Acting Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Ho said, “It is an exciting time for derivatives traders. We applaud Kenanga Futures on this proactive outreach that builds on the ongoing efforts towards encouraging and protecting retail investors. We hope to see more such campaigns that will incentivise retailers into the derivatives market to access new opportunities.”
Since September 2019, Kenanga Futures has expanded its product offerings by introducing access to new contracts through the HKFE. This year’s campaign will include four new products which are the Hang Seng Index (“HSI”) Futures, Mini Hang Seng Index (‘’Mini-HSI’’) Futures, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (“HSCEI”) Futures and Mini Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (“Mini-HSCEI”) Futures. We are pleased to offer another new market for our clients and to cater the needs of retail traders who have an interest in the Hong Kong futures markets.
