Options Trading

Make the Most of Your Opportunities.

As the options marketplace continues its upsurge in activity, we recognize the opportunities this presents for institutional investors - the possibility of increased cost efficiency, higher percentage of return, less financial commitment than equities, increased dependability as a cost-efficient hedging instrument and increased, more flexible investment alternatives.

BNY ConvergEx Group offers advanced tools to help you take advantage of these opportunities and manage your execution strategies in every market where you trade U.S. options. And we provide broker-assisted or electronic delivery with broker-assisted options trading through the BNY ConvergEx Group options desk, as well as pure, self-directed fully electronic trading, offering the control and choice you want. Our options technology combines sophisticated trading tools with superior order execution and customer support—and customized access to all U.S. options exchanges.
