These 24 LMMs represent some of the most highly capitalized and experienced trading firms in the securities and derivatives industry. They were selected from a pool of applicants from member firms of the three participating exchanges and were selected on the basis of their ability and commitment to provide continuous, two-sided markets and liquidity in OneChicago's products.
"We have received strong interest from the market maker and specialist firms of our three member exchanges," said William J. Rainer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OneChicago. "With the proven expertise of these 24 firms, and the commitment they have demonstrated to being LMMs for OneChicago, I have every confidence in their ability to create the dynamic, liquid marketplace for trading single stock futures and narrow-based indices that market participants will require."
OneChicago will operate exclusively as an electronic exchange, and orders may be entered through either the CBOEdirectTM electronic platform or through CME's GLOBEX® electronic trading platform.
OneChicago, LLC is the joint venture created to trade single stock futures and narrow-based stock indices by Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (CME), Chicago Board Options Exchange® (CBOE®), and Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT®).
