Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Thursday said regulatory measures in the equity derivatives market have helped reduce aggregate F&O losses, but individual traders continue to incur losses even after staying in the segment for several years.
A latest Sebi study showed that losses in futures and options have declined from Rs 1.12 lakh crore to around Rs 90,000 crore after the regulator's interventions. However, Pandey said many traders continue to lose money even after three to four years of participation, making it important for investors to assess whether derivatives trading is suitable for them.
