These accolades recognize Futu's active trading in options and futures, currency futures, and Exchange-Traded Products(ETP), as well as the company’s position as a go-to platform for derivative data and diversified investment product trading.

Five Consecutive Years of Award-Winning Excellence with First Recognition in Derivatives Data Provision

This gives investors greater confidence in making informed investment decisions.

Arthur Chen, Futu's Chief Financial Officer, stated,"Despite the market volatility and uncertainties last year, Futu has earned the trust of a diverse group of investors through its comprehensive user experience and functional advantages. Winning the HKEX Awards validates the recognition from official institutions regarding Futu's product diversification, accessibility, and its prominent position in ETP, derivative product investments and data provision. Moving forward, Futu will continue to meet the investors' needs by expanding the platform's trading categories with greater diversity and flexibility.
