This research report examines the current state of the F&O market, highlighting its rapid growth, particularly among retail investors, and the associated challenges they face. Despite a significant increase in participation—nearly doubling from 51 lakh traders in FY22 to 96 lakh in FY24—a recent study by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) reveals that a staggering 93% of individual traders incurred losses over the past three years. The report delves into demographic factors influencing trading outcomes, such as age, income, and gender, and identifies a concerning trend of higher loss rates among younger and lower-income traders. Additionally, the analysis distinguishes between futures and options trading, noting that options traders experience disproportionately higher losses. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced investor education and risk management strategies to empower retail participants and promote sustainable trading practices. This report aims to provide insights and recommendations for stakeholders to foster a more informed and resilient trading environment in India's F&O market.}, keywords = {Risk management, investment strategy, Retail investor, Investor education, Losses.}, month = {March}, }
