Back OPTIONS TRADING DESK IMC as a partner Looking for better execution? IMC was among the early pioneers of options market making, and among the first to recognise the role of technology in making markets more efficient. Today pricing and trading volatility remains at the core of IMC’s business. IMC is a top 3 market maker in the listed options space globally, and has long-standing relationships with all best-regulated trading venues. Our Options Direct Counterparty (DCP) Trading desk was set up in 2018, leveraging our presence in screen and Inter Dealer Broker (IDB) market making, and allowing counterparties to request prices directly and trade listed options and futures with IMC off-screen. Key highlights IMC's focus is the listed derivatives market; we trade on and off-screen but always on exchange. IMC's DCP desk makes prices for asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds and banks to trade directly with us. All of our prices are commission-free. IMC provides prices on all major RFQ platforms: BBG RFQE, Tradeweb, RFQHUB and Eurex Enlight. Our setup enables us to provide good pricing where others may struggle, for example Weekly and Month End Options, VSTOXX futures + options, and US and Asian Index options during the European session.
