The Shanghai International Energy Exchange released the list of winners of the 2023 Outstanding Market Contribution Award for Overseas Brokerage Firms, and we are happy to announce that BANDS Financial has made it onto the list for the fourth year in a row as the only Overseas Special Brokerage Participant among 20 overseas brokerage firms.
As the first exchange-recognised overseas Industrial & Financial Service Base, BANDS has worked closely with the INE to promote international access to the Chinese futures market since the launch of the exchange's first futures contract. We're honoured to be recognised by the exchange for our work and look forward to continuing our shared efforts to connect the international and Chinese markets.
It was our great pleasure to announce that BANDS Financial was selected by the Shanghai Futures Exchange as its first overseas Industrial and Financial Service Base.
Industrial and Financial Service Bases work to promote industry adoption of futures as risk management tools and provide the necessary support for a successful implementation.
As a leading overseas participant in the Chinese futures market, BANDS Financial has played an active role in expanding international access to China. Most recently, we have partnered with Linerlytica, a leading data and research firm in the container shipping industry, to increase industry awareness of the Shanghai International Energy Exchange's EC container freight futures contract.
Futures have long been used as risk management tools in other markets ranging from iron ore to bulk freight. As the container freight futures market is developing, trading opportunities are emerging for both industrial and financial investors.
On 3 June, BANDS Financial and Linerlytica launched the first virtual container freight futures trading competition. Participants will have the opportunity to trade in a simulated market reflecting the actual Shanghai International Energy Exchange marketplace and gain experience trading container freight futures.
