Robinhood has launched options trading of stocks and indices in the UK, complementing its existing retail securities lending programme.
By allowing its UK customers to trade on broad market indices, the US-based retail broker aims to offer more diversification and flexibility.
Jordan Sinclair, president of Robinhood UK, says: "Options trading has historically been difficult for UK investors to access due to high fees, complicated platforms, and limited educational resources.
"We're excited to roll out a US options trading experience that is both affordable and accessible, and leverages Robinhood's suite of tools to help UK investors take control of their financial future."
With options trading, customers will also have access to Robinhood’s educational resources, including an options guide and video series.
