The Taipei Foundation of Finance and The Options Industry Council Sign Content Licensing Agreement
Chicago, IL and Taipei (PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- The Taipei Foundation of Finance (TFF) and The Options Industry Council (OIC) announced today they have entered into a content licensing agreement to develop an educational program for financial industry professionals and investors in Taiwan and China.
TFF will now be able to deliver options education based on OIC’s content for financial industry professionals and investors mainly through live seminars in Mandarin and via access to website material from http://www.optionseducation.org, which TFF will translate into both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. This is the first time OIC has entered into a partnership resulting in the translation of its materials into Chinese.
OIC has been the premier, independent source of equity options education in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Internationally, OIC works with partners throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia to provide options education.
“We would like to take this chance to extend our hearty thanks to Gina McFadden and her team. It is worthwhile for both TFF and OIC to work together to promote options education. This is a good start for our new partnership and we anticipate that our efforts with OIC will develop smoothly and substantially not only in Taiwan, China, but also throughout all of Asia,” said Sunny W.T. Chou, Chairman, Taipei Foundation of Finance.
“We are honored to work with The Taipei Foundation of Finance as we expand OIC’s educational efforts throughout the Chinese investing community,” said Gina McFadden, OIC President. “Through this partnership we are able to provide that initial step of educating investors on the benefits and risks of equity options.”
