Saxo Bank is First to Offer Direct Online Trading in Brazilian Market

Hellerup, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire) - Saxo Bank, the
specialist in online trading and investment, has launched four
futures that will, for the first time, offer investors who are not
residents in Brazil direct access to the Brazilian market. The
products include the Bovespa Index and USD/BRL cross and enable
investors to gain exposure to one of the currently most buoyant
economies and hedge risks in their portfolios.

With this launch, Saxo Bank provides investors with four futures
investment instruments -the BOVESPA Index, IBOVSPA Index Mini, BMF US
Dollar Future and Mini BMF US Dollar- that are available from 15
April on all of the bank's platforms (SaxoTrader, SaxoWebTrader and
SaxoMobileTrader).

Moreover, Saxo Bank expands its coverage to over 20 futures
markets and more than 80 trading venues which can be accessed via a
product range comprising more than 22,000 financial instruments.

In a statement, Pedro Brigham, director of the Latin region for
Saxo Bank, says:

"The rise in commodity prices has put Brazil on investors'
radars. Its excellent economic growth, political stability and a
liquid market where over 3.5 billion US dollars are traded on a daily
basis have made the country the clear leader in Latin America at a
time when investors increasingly demand greater access to emerging
markets".

Claus Nielsen, Executive Vice President and Head of Markets at
Saxo Bank, adds:

"The launch of futures trading in Brazil marks a significant
milestone for Saxo Bank, and we are proud to be able to offer our
global client base access to this vibrant economy. We look forward to
expanding the list of available instruments in Brazil and to further
add trading venues in emerging countries to our platform."
