Advantages and benefits of trading
KLCI futures
If you own shares, or trade actively
in shares, the CI futures contract (FKLI) provides multi faceted
alternative trading and hedging strategies
1 Can short to hedge existing
portfolio
2 Ability to short to take advantage
of down movement. Note there is no short selling allowed for
Malaysian equities
3 Likewise if your view is for a
bull market, buying one futures contract is the same as buying a
portfolio of the top 100 shares of the Composite Index, equivalent
to Index value X RM50 value. For example if the index value is
850, then the value will be RM42,500. And the RM42,500 does not
have to be paid up in full. A performance bond, known as margin of
RM2,500-4,000 will have to be paid to the clearing house. This
illustrates the advantage of leverage that futures affords.
