Moomoo Securities Expands Its Stock Options Offering

Moomoo Securities, renowned for providing the top-rated stock investment app in Japan, has officially announced the addition of 23 new Japanese stocks to its securities options trading platform, affectionately known as "Kabu-Op." This move comes as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to enhance trading opportunities for individual investors, particularly in an increasingly dynamic stock market environment.

Growing Market Demand for Kabu-Op

Since the initiation of Kabu-Op in November last year, Moomoo Securities has witnessed a steady increase in both trading volume and transaction values. The company attributes this growth to several factors, including the reentry of market makers and an expansion in available stocks. Furthermore, the general resilience in the Japanese stock market has bolstered investor confidence and participation.

The latest additions include prominent Japanese companies such as Seven Bank, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Recruit Holdings, among others. The full list of new stocks encompasses a diverse array of sectors, ensuring that investors have ample choice at their disposal.

Unbeatable Trading Fees

The company takes pride in offering one of the most competitive trading fee structures in the industry, making it an attractive option for both novice and experienced investors. Investors can engage in Kabu-Op trades at a rate of only 0.055% on the transaction amount, with a minimum commission fee of just 44 yen. This cost-effective fee structure allows for greater accessibility for investors looking to leverage options trading without the burden of excessive fees.

To initiate Kabu-Op trading, investors must first set up a general account followed by an additional application process.

Kabu-Op Trading Features

Kabu-Op, like other options trading platforms, offers a range of unique features and benefits:

• - Low Capital Requirement: Options buyers only need to secure the premium amount, while sellers only need margin to participate in the trade.
• - Leverage Benefits: Investors can create profits even when the market is stagnant by selling options.
• - Loss Limitation: Buyers have the option to exercise their rights only when favorable; thus, losses can be limited to the premium paid.
• - Hedging Options: Kabu-Op serves as an effective hedge against the risk of stock price declines or anticipated price increases in prospective stock acquisitions.
