LONDON, June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Saxo Bank, the online trading and investment specialist, has been awarded Best Online Futures and Options Provider at this year's MoneyAM Online Finance Awards.

While Saxo Bank is renowned for online Forex trading, Saxo Bank offers more than 130 futures contracts on live online tradable prices. The Bank's online Futures trading opens up the world's major markets, from Chicago to Singapore and through the Bank's online trading platforms investors can access a huge range of products - from oil and metals to currencies, bonds, agriculturals and indices - across the global Futures markets, including CMEGroup, Eurex and Euronext.

Recently, Saxo Bank expanded its derivatives universe by introducing Contract Options, an investment alternative that allows clients to trade Options on gold, oil and other commodities, currencies, interest rates, bonds and major stock indices. By trading Contract Options online, clients can take advantage of market uncertainty and changes in market volatility, and implement trading strategies in rising or falling markets, as well as markets without any specific direction.

Following its launch in 2003, MoneyAM provides personal finance information, stock market data, business news and comment. The aim of the awards is to recognise innovative and high quality service, as well as products from companies in the online world of finance. The MoneyAM Online Finance Awards are now in their fourth year and last year had over 7,500 votes, making them a true ranking of the online financial marketplace.
