KUCHING: Kenanga Futures Sdn Bhd (Kenanga Futures) is back with its second nationwide campaign, Back 2 The Futures – a campaign that enables domestic clients to access both the US and Malaysian listed derivatives on CME Group and Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Bhd (BMD), respectively, and be rewarded.
Taking place from August 15 to November 15, the campaign rewards petrol cards worth up to RM200 to new individual clients who trade BMD products, including new and existing clients who open an account and trade CME Group products.
“This is our second nationwide campaign and we are honoured to be supported by BMD and CME Group, the world’s leading derivatives exchange.
“This Campaign now makes it even easier for clients to be rewarded whilst being able to trade on both CME Group and BMD products on a single platform, which is our very own KDF TradeActive that is available on both desktop and mobile devices,” said Kenanga Futures chief executive officer and head of listed derivatives, Azila Abdul Aziz.
KDF TradeActive is the company’s trademarked real-time customised online trading solution where clients can now access both the US and Malaysian listed derivatives on KDF TradeActive, giving customers easy access to real-time market data and flexibility to trade on-the-go.
“By connecting to platforms such as KDF TradeActive, we are helping to develop futures and options markets for Malaysian market participants as well as traders worldwide,” said CME Group managing director and head of Asia Pacific, Christopher Fix.
Meanwhile Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Bhd chief executive officer Jamaluddin Nor Mohamad said the campaign plays a key role in bridging the divide between retail investors and derivatives trading.
“This in line with our commitment to educate and increase the participation of retail investors in the derivatives market,” Jamaluddin noted.
The Campaign is open to all existing clients and new eligible individuals aged 18 and above. Participants will need to open an account with Kenanga Futures to start trading CME Group and BMD products, and trade the minimum number of contracts within the first 45 calendar days commencing from the date of account opening or signing of the relevant documents to trade CME Group products.
Participants can trade these products via KDF TradeActive or by calling the dealing desk at 03–2172 3888. All eligible participants will automatically be enrolled in the campaign.
