FXDD combines traditional OTC FX with On-Exchange Equities
Equities
Equities can be defined as stocks or shares in a company that investors can buy or sell. For example, when you buy a stock, you are purchasing equity, thereby becoming a partial owner of shares in a specific company or fund.Equities do not pay a fixed interest rate, and as such are not considered guaranteed income. Consequently, equity markets are often associated with risk.When a company issues bonds, it’s taking loans from buyers. When a company offers shares, on the other hand, it’s selling partial ownership in the company.Equities have become a popular form of investing. Despite their risk, there are many reasons for individuals investing in equities. Equity holders can also benefit through dividends, as these differ notably from capital gains or price differences in stocks you have purchased.Dividends reflect periodic payments made from a company to its shareholders. They’re taxed like long-term capital gains, which vary by country. Why are Equities so Popular?In the United States and many developed countries, equity markets are amongst the largest in terms of transactions, investors, and turnover, adding to their growing popularity in recent decades.The appeal of equities is the potential for high returns. Most portfolios feature some portion of equity exposure for growth, which as mentioned also carries a larger degree of risk.Equities are also popular with younger investors who can largely afford to take on higher levels of equity exposure, i.e. risk. As such, these individuals have more stocks in their portfolio because of their potential for returns over time. However, individuals looking to retire or rely on a more stabilized and risk-averse portfolio often reduce their equity exposure.This stance is hardly novel and can explain trading habits among many investors. For example, holders of retirement accounts typically will shift at least a portion of their investments from stocks to bonds or fixed-income as they get older.

Read this Term and Futures on MT5. FXDD (www.fxdd.com), a long-established name in the Forex space, has launched what could very well be a game changing product. The company has closed the chasm that has always existed between the OTC market and Exchanges.
The forex brokerage business has been in existence for decades, and while global brokers may differ in terms of size, experience, domicile and marketing, their product offerings have essentially remained the same. Some have expanded their product lines from traditional OTC FX and CFD products to include single stocks, cryptos and more recently NDF’s, but the similarities are stark.
However, a trading world exists outside of this. A trading space with a much longer and richer history. That’s the trading of US listed Futures, Stocks and derivative products on regulated Exchanges like the CME and New York Stock Exchanges. The problem for retail and institutional traders has always been one of desk real estate and time management. Trading across multiple assets requires maintaining separate accounts and different trading platforms to access both worlds.
The demand for a true multi-asset platform has always existed. The persistent problem has been how to combine the two. Like most products, pure FX platforms that offer a single product face limited life cycles and may very soon be found on the endangered list. Today’s market with its new generation of traders demands diversification.
A one-stop multi-asset trading solution, mobility, and the ability to combine trading with investment. Millennials and Generation Z now make up the majority of traders and their needs are different.
They want streamlined tech, access to trending assets and economic freedom. They are also astute and will carefully consider the brokerage options available to them. FXDD has taken a giant step in that direction by introducing access to the New York and Chicago Stock and Futures Exchanges, side by side with the traditional OTC FX pairs.
FXDD, founded in 2003 with a long and impressive director level background on Wall Street, has bridged the gap. With the emergence of Metaquotes’ MT5 platform and its ability to accommodate multiple asset classes, FXDD has introduced its groundbreaking multi-asset solution over MT5.
This is a platform familiar to millions of traders. In doing so, it strives to combine a client’s trading activity with the white-hot trend of embedded investing. The trader is also the portfolio builder having access to all products on a single platform through one single account. The mobile features of MT5 provides an added benefit for those on the move. FXDD now allows you to trade on-exchange Futures and US listed stocks and ETF’s, and FX. All on one platform.
Emil Assentato, Chairman of FXDD, states “The trend towards and demand for multi-asset trading has become more and more apparent. With hundreds of Forex brokers to choose from, clients want more than just leveraged FX trading. Traders today also want to be able to invest, while investors want the ability to trade. We believe our multi-asset offering provides just that. The elusive solution to combining on-exchange with off exchange trading under one account, on a single platform.”
FXDD is a leading international broker that was founded in 2002 with the goal of providing its global clients with the best trading conditions and client support. Uncover true multi-asset trading, diversify your portfolio and rediscover the excitement of the markets.
