FBM KLCI FuturesTrading
Introduced in December 1995, the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index Futures contract was the first financial derivative product launched in Malaysia. As an instrument for managing volatility on the local stock market, the KLCI futures contracts have attracted both foreign and local institutional as well as non-institutional investors for hedging, arbitraging and speculating purposes. The Index is now succeeded by the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Composite Index.

TA Futures has been an active trading member since the inception of the KLCI Index Futures and currently, we are one of the leading brokers. Backed by the strong backbone of our TA Research and our institutional dealing team, TA Futures has clientele ranging from local unit trust companies to corporate clients to high net worth individuals.

With experienced and qualified dealers, TA Futures is conversant with both fundamental and technical analyses. Aside from dealing, we provide consultation on arbitraging and hedging activities and some other trading strategies.
