Changes are Opportunities

In 1999, global capital markets transitioned from open outcry, to electronic screen based platforms. By removing physical barriers, new possibilities and business opportunities were created.

Futures First identified this shift and gradually grew to become one of the world’s most reputable companies, offering services in the Derivatives Industry. Succeeding in this highly competitive climate requires an in-depth understanding of global markets, quantitative analysis and research skills.

We operate nearly twenty-four hours a day. Our offices wake up with Japan and Australia, and close with US, Canada and Brazil.
Our edge in the market comes from our highly trained professionals who can make quick and calculated decisions under pressure.
