F&O inclusion represents a significant milestone for these stocks, marking their entry into a more sophisticated trading ecosystem. This development typically leads to enhanced market visibility, institutional participation, and trading volumes.
For investors, it opens up new possibilities, including hedging strategies, leveraged trading through futures, and various option-based approaches to risk management, all while requiring lower capital through margin trading.
What does it mean for price discovery?
The broader market impact extends beyond just trading flexibility. These stocks often experience improved price discovery mechanisms, tighter bid-ask spreads, and reduced impact costs for large trades. This evolution typically attracts more foreign and domestic institutional investors, potentially leading to better research coverage and valuation metrics.
However, investors should note that F&O inclusion can also bring increased price volatility initially as traders adjust their positions and develop new trading strategies.
