Moomoo Malaysia Launches US Options Trading

Moomoo Securities Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (Moomoo Malaysia) has just become the first platform in Malaysia to offer US options trading.

This significant expansion of Moomoo’s product offerings follows the announcement at the recent #MerdekaBersamaMoofest. It continues the company’s commitment to provide Malaysians with broader access to global financial markets.

US options trading

The introduction of US options means that investors can trade options on some of the world’s largest and most prominent companies listed on the US stock exchanges. This new addition offers Malaysians an opportunity to diversify their investment strategies. Investors can do this by hedging positions, and gain more control over their portfolios.

According to Moomoo Malaysia’s recent Retail Investor Sentiment Survey, 33% of Malaysian investors are actively looking to global markets as part of their strategy to diversify their portfolios. Up to 37% seem to be putting more emphasis on high-growth sectors such as tech, artificial intelligence (AI), and finance. Many are also interested in the US market in particular.

Trade on major US companies

“With the ability to trade options on major US companies, our users can now tailor their investment strategies to both protect their portfolios from volatility and capitalise on global growth sectors like tech and AI,” said Ivan Mok, Chief Executive Officer of Moomoo Malaysia.

Moomoo Malaysia aims to continue offering comprehensive educational resources. These initiatives are designed to help users of all levels understand the intricacies of US Options trading. Among other things, these resources include in-depth guides, real-time market data, active community forums, as well as interactive webinars hosted by industry experts, all available within the moomoo app.
