DMA door opens for foreign investors: The FOW Russian DMA Roundtable, sponsored by Arqa Technologies, Otkritie, Renaissance Capital, RTS Stock Exchange and UniCredit Securities.
Direct market access is the way most Russian investors trade futures and options. But so far, few international firms use it - or they use it with caution. On December 2, RTS Stock Exchange hosted an FOW roundtable at its London office. Leading brokers and investors discussed the potential for DMA to unlock even greater liquidity for Russia's derivative markets. It was during the discussion that news came through of Russia's successful bid to host the 2018 World Cup - a sign of confidence in the country's future that echoed the optimism of the roundtable participants.
