Financial Index Futures for Investors

Small is beautiful.

To accommodate the growing interest in financial index futures contracts amongst individual investors, exchanges have recently introduced “mini” versions of their stock index contracts. “Mini” contracts allow individual investors to trade these contracts without having to put up as large a margin requirement as would be required for the full-sized contract.

Like institutional money managers, sophisticated retail investors can also use these contracts to hedge their portfolios against the prospect of falling equity markets. They can also buy these contracts when they have a positive outlook on the market instead of the far costlier option of buying more shares of the equities they currently possess.

The Burak Hannon Brojde Group can work closely with you to develop trading strategies for financial index contracts that reflect your specific view of the market, time horizon and investment objectives.
