Our business

A world leader in professional intermediation

Compagnie Financière Tradition (CFT), present in 30 countries, is one of the world’s leading IDBs (Inter Dealer Brokers). Over the past ten years, the Company has expanded considerably, mainly through organic growth.

Acting as a market maker and intermediary, Compagnie Financière Tradition provides services to financial institutions and other professional traders in the capital markets. Transactions vary in size and liquidity, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, and from the most liquid to the most illiquid.

The key to its success has always been its ability to understand the evolving needs of a vast and loyal network of clients, combined with its strong skills in the derivatives markets.
