Wholesale Trading
Our screen trading activities are closely linked with our wholesale trading activities. Wholesale trading comprises all direct trading between Optiver and the professional ‘wholesale' market. The professional market is mainly represented by brokers that execute trading flow for counterparties such as banks and institutional investors. These trades are normally carried out through verbal communications such as via phone lines or direct box lines instead of through the screen.
The wholesale trading team consists of specialised and experienced market professionals who trade exchange traded products off the screen. In general these trades are more complex combinations of products or very large in size and thus the wholesale market exists alongside the screen to facilitate these transactions. Our wholesale trading department makes markets in listed equity, index and fixed income derivatives. Besides options, we also provide liquidity in delta one products, namely futures, ADR Crossbooks and ETFs.
Another function of our wholesale trading department is to find and screen market information to facilitate trading decisions for the company as a whole, actively looking for trading opportunities in the market and keeping track of possible risks. Thus, wholesale traders are considered the ‘eyes and ears’ of the company.
