We connect buyers and sellers in a variety of financial markets that include equities and equity derivatives, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives and interest rate instruments.

We are a member of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) and hold the chairmanship of the Association of Futures Markets (AFM). We are supervised by the Financial Services Board (FSB).
