Advantages of trading Stock Futures
• Low transaction costs
As stock futures contracts are based on the value of several thousand shares, the stock transaction costs are low relative to purchasing or selling the total underlying shares.
• Ease of short selling
A short position in a stock futures contract can be easily established, allowing investors to benefit from an anticipated fall in the value of the underlying stock.
• Leverage effect
As the margin required to carry a stock futures position is only a fraction of the value of the underlying stock, hedging/trading activities can be conducted with a smaller capital outlay.
• Lower currency exposure for offshore investors
For global investors with an exposure in Hong Kong through stock futures contract, only the margin to carry the position is subjected to home currency price fluctuations.
• Electronic trading
As stock futures are traded on the HKFE's Automated Trading System (ATS), where orders are electronically matched based on price and time priority and bid, offer and transaction prices are instantly disseminated, providing the highest level of price and market transparency.
• Clearing House guarantee
As with all futures and options contracts traded on the HKFE, stock futures are registered, cleared and guaranteed by the HKFE Clearing Corporation (HKCC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the HKFE. HKCC acts as the counter-party to all open contracts which effectively eliminates counter-party risks between its HKCC Participants. The HKCC guarantee does not cover an HKCC Participant's obligations to its clients. Investors should exercise due care and diligence when deciding through whom they will conduct business.
Market making system
To ensure adequate market liquidity, registered traders (market makers) make firm bid/offer prices within a maximum spread limit. Price quotations by market makers, together with the participation of other traders, provide an active and liquid market for investors to open and/or close their stock futures positions.
Disclaimers:
Risks of Trading Stock Futures
Futures involve a high degree of risk. Losses from futures trading can exceed your initial margin funds and you may be required to pay additional margin funds on short notice. Failure to do so may result in your position being liquidated and you being liable for any resulting deficit. You must therefore understand the risks of trading in futures and should assess whether they are right for you. You are encouraged to consult your professional investment consultant on your suitability for futures trading in light of your financial positions and investment objectives before trading.
