Buoyed by rising stock indices hitting record highs, retail investors are flocking to the high-risk Futures & Options (F&O) segment, especially index options. In our cover story, Anand Adhikari examines the risks in F&O trading and how policymakers can make it safer. While F&O is vital for hedging, uninformed retail investors risk heavy losses.
