A representative from Mirae Asset Securities stated, "Futures and options are useful trading instruments that allow investors to manage risks for a wide range of assets?including stock indices, energy, metals, foreign exchange, and individual stocks?in highly volatile market conditions, while also creating profit opportunities through leverage. We hope this competition will increase investors' understanding of and interest in domestic and overseas derivatives products."
