A financial matchmaker, GFI Group is an inter-dealer hybrid brokerage that acts as an intermediary for more than 2,600 institutional clients such as banks, large corporations, insurance companies, and hedge funds. The firm deals primarily in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, which tend to be less liquid and thus harder to trade than other assets. It also offers market data and analysis on credit, equity, commodity, and currency derivatives, and other financial instruments. Other products include foreign exchange options, freight, and energy derivatives including electric power, coal, and carbon emissions options. GFI operates in North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Australasia.
