The Small Exchange Introduces Small US Crude Oil Futures, Reports Business Wire

"The Small Exchange, a futures exchange offering smaller, simpler products aimed toward retail customers, has launched Small US Crude Oil Futures (SMO)– a trading product presenting a small, efficient line to one of the most consumed energy sources in the world. SMO allows smaller investors and traders access to the US Crude Oil market with the same institutional quality instruments as larger traders. SMO contracts are less expensive than most existing futures and more capitally efficient than comparable exchange-traded oil funds all while providing pure exposure to one of the most actively traded commodities in the world" reports Business Wire.

“Small investors and traders now have a crude oil product that meets their risk tolerance, allows for easier access with lower margin requirements, and encourages portfolio diversification,” said Don Roberts, the Small Exchange President and CEO. “We strive to create products that will give the smaller investor equal footing with larger institutions.”

The Small Exchange is making futures markets more accessible to more people with small, standard, and simple products that combine the best of futures and stocks.
