FX Options: The next generation in currency market investments

Saxo Bank, the online trading and investment specialist, will be giving a special presentation on the investment potential of FX Options at the forthcoming Saudi Money Expo in Al Khobar Saturday 17th October.  FX Options are a fairly new instrument on the financial market, popular among investors who are looking to diversify their portfolio or hedge other investments, and the Saxo Bank presentation will address the different ways in which self-directed traders can get the most from their investments in this instrument.

The presentation will be given by Raid Madiyeh, Senior Sales Trader at Saxo Bank, who has more than 10 years of experience educating investors on trading financial markets.  Mr Madiyeh specialises in topics such as FX trading, Swaps, Options, CFDs, Futures, Derivatives and Equity trading.  The presentation will not only give an overview of the FX market, but will also explain how investors can harness leverage and protect their profits while trading FX Options. 

As Gold sponsors of the Saudi Money Expo, one of the most prestigious financial conferences in the region, Saxo Bank will also be hosting a booth at the Expo for investors to meet with the Saxo Bank representatives present and learn more about online trading and investments.

Mr Madiyeh said: “We are observing growing interest in FX Options trading from self-directed investors based in Saudi Arabia who are becoming increasingly aware of the potential of these products as a way to hedge their portfolio and to create unique opportunities to benefit from the market.  We will be using our time at the Saudi Money Expo to meet with investors and help them to deepen their knowledge of the investment opportunities that best suit their ambitions.” 

Saxo Bank’s presence at the Saudi Money Expo will also be an opportunity for investors to trial SaxoTraderGO, the new and intuitive, multi-asset trading platform recently launched.  The launch of SaxoTraderGO is part of the long and proud history that Saxo Bank has as a fintech innovator.  The development of SaxoTraderGO was informed by a survey of nearly 3,000 Saxo Bank clients globally who stated that maintaining platform performance and functionality when switching between different devices was a key priority for them. 

Speed and quality of execution were the two highest priorities for clients in terms of trading performance, followed by availability of trading instruments. In particular, clients in the Middle East who, in addition to prioritising fast execution platform, stressed a need for the product to come from a trusted, reliable and licensed bank like Saxo Bank.

Founded in 1992, Saxo Bank is among the first financial institutions that developed an online trading platform that offers private investors and clients the same tools and real time market access as professionals. For more than two decades, Saxo Bank has grown to become a fully licensed bank in Europe specialising in trading and investment.

To further encourage retailers and investors across the Middle East to utilize the new SaxoTraderGO platform, Saxo Bank has also recently launched a dedicated Arabic website.  The new Arabic website enables Saxo Bank’s regional customers to explore detailed product and platform offerings, trading conditions, and training materials such as videos and PDF guides in Arabic.
