ICICI Securities, the largest integrated securities firm, will launch BSE derivatives trading on its investment portal from August 21.

The launch is aimed at providing an opportunity for retail customers to participate in the fast-growing derivatives segment of the BSE, a statement issued here today said.

“We are glad to offer additional choice of exchange and index for our customers to trade,” ICICI Securities MD & CEO Anup Bagchi said.

With the launch of BSE derivatives on ICICIDirect, the reach of derivatives segment of BSE would increase and the retail segment of investors would be able to participate in a larger way at a fraction of cost, BSE’s interim CEO Ashish Chauhan said.

ICICIDirect has a customer base of over 2.3 million.
