Equity Index Futures
Trade the S&P 500 (CME), Nasdaq 100, DAX, and Nikkei 225 (JPX). Ideal for directional views or hedging equity portfolio beta. Single account, multi-exchange. Preferred by hedge funds managing large cap equity exposure.
Energy Futures
Brent Crude and WTI Oil futures via ICE and NYMEX. Used by GCC energy companies and trading desks to manage commodity price risk and basis exposure. Natural Gas futures also available.
Precious Metals Futures
Gold and Silver futures via COMEX. Access benchmark gold contracts from Dubai — particularly relevant given the UAE’s role as a global gold trading hub. Used for portfolio diversification and inflation hedging.
FX Futures
Currency futures for AED, USD, EUR and major pairs via DGCX and CME. A regulated, exchange-cleared alternative to OTC FX forwards for institutional FX hedging in Dubai — eliminating bilateral counterparty risk.
Equity & Index Options
Exchange-traded equity and index options for portfolio protection, income generation via covered calls, and leveraged directional exposure. Available on US and international indices via CME and CBOE.
Commodity Options
Options on energy, metals, and agricultural futures. Used by GCC food importers and energy producers for asymmetric hedging — capping downside while retaining upside participation.
