HDFC Securities

HDFC Securities has introduced margin trading for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), becoming one of the first major brokerage firms in India to offer this facility. The move marks a significant expansion of retail investors’ access to leverage, previously limited largely to equities and derivatives. By allowing investors to pledge ETF units and avail funding through margin trading, HDFC Securities aims to deepen ETF participation and cater to the evolving needs of active traders.

HDFC Securities, a subsidiary of the prominent private sector lender HDFC Bank, has introduced a cutting-edge futures and options (F&O) dashboard on its discount broking platform, HDFC Sky. This new tool combines sophisticated analytics with user-friendly, one-click execution, aiming to democratize access to institutional-grade investment resources. With this launch, HDFC Securities seeks to provide both novice and experienced investors with the tools necessary to navigate the complex world of derivatives.
