Derivatives Trading

Clients trading derivatives benefit from our extensive trade life cycle expertise. Pre-trade, our derivatives experts, dedicated to each client, assist in structuring options trades to best fit the client’s fundamental view. During trade execution, we execute via our network of liquidity providers. We act as agent to quote multiple market makers on behalf of our clients and we encourage price competition on all orders, even as we protect anonymity by serving as an intermediary. Finally, we provide post-trade monitoring. We track positions after execution, and make recommendations when applicable.

Commission Management Services

Options commissions on trades can pay CSAs because JonesTrading acts as agent. This is owing to the fact that JonesTrading sources capital for clients from third party market makers.

Clients utilize our Commission Management Services, which are fully customizable, to match your business needs. Clients have access to our real time commission report which tracks both soft dollars and commissions directed to our broker network for execution. This business is supported by our state of the art web-based technology and dedicated support team.

With JonesTrading, clients have control of the administration process, with 24 hour access to commission balances, monthly statements, trade detail and associated commission credits, as well as management of research payments. And, our broker neutral approach gives clients the ability to manage their soft dollar budgets across multiple brokers around the globe, all through single, web- based portal.
