About Us

Back in 1989, Peter Cruddas set out to make institutional-style trading accessible to the retail market.

Since then, CMC Markets has evolved into one of the world's leading online contract for difference (CFD), foreign exchange and financial spread trading providers, with over 24 million trades executed annually.

The CMC Markets trading experience gives clients access to international financial markets by offering over 5,000 trading instruments, across more than 40 markets.

We offer contract for difference on equities, indices, treasuries, commodities and foreign exchange, all available via our award-winning trading technology.

With a global footprint spanning four continents, CMC Markets' international network of strategically positioned offices supports clients from more than 100 countries worldwide.

Key acquisitions in the course of CMC Markets’ expansion have included the financial content and data provider Digital Look, and Australian stock-broker Andrew West & Co. Still privately-held, CMC Markets welcomed its first institutional shareholder when Goldman Sachs purchased a 10% stake in the company in 2007.
