BHB videos to boost awareness

Manama : Bahrain Bourse (BHB) announced yesterday that it has started producing short awareness video clips focusing on the fundamentals of investing in the stock market.

The videos are posted on the bourse’s website and social media accounts and display the concepts visually using illustrative text and symbols accompanied by sound effects.

The move, according to the bourse, aims at addressing frequently asked questions by investors and others interested in investing at the bourse in a very simple and straightforward manner.

The first awareness video clip illustrates a detailed explanation of the steps of opening an investor account that will entitle the investor to trade at the bourse. The clip also outlines the type of accounts available and the documents required to open an account at the bourse.

The second awareness video clip briefly explains the responsibilities and services that brokers provide to the investors, and specifies the brokers’ commission and the mechanism of placing orders in the market.

Bahrain Bourse plans to issue similar awareness video clips during the year which will be posted on its social media accounts @bahrainbourse and website www.bahrainbourse.com
