ETF Market Making

What we do

IMC is at the heart of the ETF ecosystem. We partner with Issuers and Exchanges to design and support effective lead market maker programs that incentivize trading in newly issued products in the form of tighter spreads and increased liquidity—for the benefit of investors. We may also provide initial seed capital so that investors can more readily access liquidity in new, innovative ETF products in the secondary market.

Lead Market Makers, or LMMs, are registered market makers assigned by an Exchange to make markets in specified ETFs. In exchange for certain incentives, typically in the form of superior fee structures for the LMM assignments, LMMs must comply with additional obligations that must be met on an ongoing basis, including: quoting, obligations and minimum specified performance requirements across a wide array of statistical metrics for each assigned product.

IMC can provide Risk and NAV markets to FINRA registered broker dealers, covering a wide range of ETFs.
