In line with Bahrain Bourse’s ef-
forts in spreading investment
awareness among various cat-
egories of investors, Bahrain

awareness video clips on the
fundamentals of investing in the
stock market posted on its web-
site and social media accounts.
By producing those video clips,
Bahrain Bourse aims at address-
ing frequently asked questions
by investors and others interest-
ed in investing at the bourse in
a very simple and straightfor-
ward manner. The video clips
display the concepts visually us-
ing illustrative text and symbols
accompanied by sound effects.
The first awareness video clip illus-
trates a detailed explanation of the
steps of opening an investor ac-
count that will entitle the investor
to trade at the bourse. The clip also
outlines the type of accounts avail-
able and the documents required
to open an account at the bourse.
The second awareness video
clip briefly explains the respon-
sibilities and services that bro-
kers provide to the investors,
and specifies the brokers’ com-
mission and the mechanism of
placing orders in the market.

ilar awareness video clips during

investment awareness for those
interested in investing as well as
facilitating their access to the in-
formation they require to invest at
