About IMC
IMC was founded in 1989 by two traders working on the floor of the Amsterdam Options Exchange.
While today’s industry is highly automated, back then trading was executed on the exchange floor by traders manually calculating the price to buy or sell. IMC was among the first to spot the importance of technology and innovation in the evolution of market making and invested early, helping shape the future of trading.
That entrepreneurial spirit and innovative culture still drives IMC, which stands for International Marketmaker’s Combination.
In 30 years we’ve grown internationally, trading primarily on the basis of data and algorithms, and using our execution platform to provide liquidity to financial markets globally.
IMC is a founding member of FIA European Principal Traders Association, and a member of the FIA Principal Traders Group , Association of Proprietary Traders, STA Securities Traders Association, and SIFMA .
