MAKO celebrates return to Market Making in UK equity options
Mako is a proprietary trading firm providing liquidity to global derivatives markets, primarily through options market making. Founded in London in 1999, the firm has grown into a global business with offices in London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Singapore, Sydney, Brisbane and Chengdu, trading exchange-listed derivatives across equities, fixed income, energy and commodities.
Today Mako closes the market to celebrate its return to electronic market making in UK equity options. The firm is once again active in options on London-listed companies, supporting liquidity in London’s equity market and reaffirming its long-standing commitment to the City as a global centre for trading and risk transfer.
“London is where Mako began, and the London Stock Exchange sits at the heart of the market we call home. Returning as a market maker in UK equity options is a proud moment for everyone at the firm. We’re once again an active participant in London-listed names on the Exchange, and we look forward to bringing our pricing, technology and risk expertise to bear in support of the depth and quality of London’s markets for years to come.”
Trystan Morgan Schauer
CEO of Mako
“This is a significant milestone in Mako’s growth. Liquid, well-functioning public markets matter, and we are delighted to be playing our part on the London Stock Exchange once again.”
Chris Welsh
Chairman of Mako
