Leading independent broker and investment bank on the Italian market

Market Making in Options and Stock Futures

Intermonte is one of the leading Market Makers on the Italian Derivatives Market (IDEM) in various products (such as Options, Stock Futures), continuously quoting bid and ask prices for these instruments. Intermonte started Market Making activity in 2011 (both index & single stock options). Since the last quarter of 2019, Intermonte has expanded the range of derivative products it offers thanks to the addition of the main European securities listed on the Eurex market.

Options allow portfolio managers more flexibility with their strategies, for example for yield enhancement or downside protection. Natural buyers and sellers may enter the markets at different times and by stepping in between Intermonte allows them to immediately transfer their risk, ensuring liquidity in the market and certain execution.
Having multiple flows and an integrated book allow us to offer a competitive pricing, making tighter spreads in any given product and ultimately providing a better service to our clients.

As a result, since 2013 Intermonte has consistently ranked among the leaders for market share according to official statistics provided by Assosim.
