About Us
Optiver began in 1986 as a market maker on the Amsterdam-based European Options Exchange. We started with just a single floor trader. Today, we are a leading independent global arbitrage group.
We are one of the largest derivatives trading company on the Australian, Asian and European Stock Exchanges and we expect our US operations to soon follow suit. But we won’t stop there. We realise that we will only remain competitive through continuous improvement. We will uphold our forward-thinking, ambitious culture that we are today, and will always look for the next big opportunity.
Our offices in Amsterdam, Sydney, Chicago, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei ensure that we are active in every major time zone. Our dedication to innovation and advancement means that we are constantly improving our IT and trading strategies. Our commitment to an open and creative culture gives us a truly unique working environment.
Our main focus is screen trading, so our IT development activities are as vital to our success as the skills of our traders. Through teamwork and commitment, our IT teams partner with our traders to reach optimal performance levels. Operations support ensures that we reduce risk to the lowest common factor and optimise opportunities for growth.
