Dear Traders,
Dhan is built for Traders, we focus on ensuring we provide you best in class trading features and have continued to ensure we enhance your experience with time to time.
For all market participants, be it investors and trades - diversification is important. Diversification is a fundamental investment strategy that involves spreading your capital across different asset classes such as stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities and more. The goal is to reduce overall risk by ensuring that no single asset class dominates your portfolio. If one asset performs poorly, losses can be offset by gains from other assets, helping to stabilise returns.
This concept is equally applicable for traders, providing a diversified platform for implementing trading strategies across various markets. By trading multiple assets, you can avoid over-dependence on a specific market, sector, timing, or regulation, helping to protect your profit and loss (P&L) from sudden market changes or unexpected events that could negatively impact returns. At Dhan, you can trade and invest across a variety of segments, including equities, mutual funds, options, futures, ETFs, fixed income, and commodities. These segments are available through NSE, BSE, and MCX, all powered by our in-house trading system - DEXT.
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of a new exchange-segment on Dhan, designed to enhance risk management for traders and offer a broader range of asset classes for diversification.
