OTCex Group is the product of two mergers. The first was in 2005 between Paresco, a French investment firm broking listed equity and interest rates products and HPC, a European broker operating mainly in money and interest-rate markets. This entity then merged in 2006 with OTCex, an inter-dealer broker specializing in index and single stock options.

Since its foundation, OTCex Group’s strategic focus has always been to bring together market expertise with very strong business fits in order to create a multi-product brokerage service on an international scale.
These successive mergers have brought OTCex Group a client base of over 600 institutions, including banks, asset managers, fund managers, hedge funds and market makers.
