Local Participants Recruitment Drive

A Local Participant (Locals) is a professional derivatives trader who trades for his/her own account. In essence, a self-employed trader. With the recent easing of entry requirements, those who aspire to be a Local Participant are not required to pass the licensing examination, show the relevant academic qualification and industry experience.

Locals have grown alongside the Exchange over the years, both in terms of numbers and trading participation in derivatives products.

As a proprietary trader, they have unlimited trading potential. They trade as a business and have the option of working flexi hours from anywhere. Locals also enjoy exchange fee rebates and tax abatement on their income.
