of growing importance in the derivatives market.

Different derivative products have different dominant groups of traders. More
than 70% of trading volume in stock options was principal trading by Exchange
Participants (EPs), though there has been a gradual decrease in the proportion
over the past three survey years (from over 80% in 2000/01 to 73% in 2002/03).
Correspondingly, local retail and overseas institutional participation has
increased, with their respective percentage contributions roughly doubling in
2002/03 (to 11% and 9%) over 2000/01.
Local retail investors have been dominant traders in mini-HSI futures (64% to
88% over the past few years). Their participation in the regular HSI futures is
also significant (contributing over one-third of contract volume in 2002/03) but
they were overtaken in the recent year by overseas institutions (contributing
nearly 40% of contract volume in 2002/03).
Local retail investors have less appetite for HSI options than HSI futures
contributing less than a quarter of HSI options volume. Their relative
contribution was also overtaken slightly by that of overseas institutions (about
a quarter) in 2002/03.
