Interesting Facts
- Optiver was the first company on the Dutch Options Exchange to use a mathematical test as part of its Trader selection process.
From the beginning, Optiver's structure was organised, professional and goal-orientated. The goal was always to build a company, not just a place to trade.
- Johann Kaemingk, company Chairman, was Optiver's first floor trader, and continued trading for the first four years of the company's existence.
- In the 1980's, Dutch trading house's positions were very limited. In some cases, to no more than 500 open options per day. Today, that number can reach up to 9.999.
