Moomoo Securities Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Moomoo) has become one of the pioneering platforms in Malaysia to offer US Options trading. This significant expansion has strengthened its commitment to provide Malaysians with broader access to global financial markets, according to a press statement.
With the introduction of the Options trading, Moomoo is offering investors the ability to trade options on some of the world’s largest and most prominent companies listed on the US stock exchanges. This new feature will allow users to diversify their investment strategies, hedge positions, and gain more control over their portfolios by leveraging options trading strategies.
According to Moomoo’s recent Retail Investor Sentiment Survey, 33% of Malaysian investors are actively looking to global markets as part of their strategy to diversify their portfolios, while 37% of Malaysian investors are focusing on high-growth sectors such as technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and finance, especially in global markets like the US.

We want to ensure our users, whether they are new to options trading or seasoned investors, can confidently execute their strategies with the support they need at every step.”
