The Newedge Difference

Formed by Société Générale and Crédit Agricole CIB, as a 50/50 joint venture, Newedge combines the knowledge and experience of two well established brokerage firms, Calyon Financial and Fimat.  With a strong governance structure and operating model, Newedge acts as an impartial partner, enabling us to minimize conflicts of interest while supporting our position as an independent player in the brokerage world.

In addition to our shareholder banks, Newedge itself has banking status. For Newedge customers, this provides a measure of strength and stability over a traditional brokerage model. As a bank, Newedge must meet strict banking standards pertaining to financial reserves and regulatory procedures.

Our business focus remains our strong offering in futures and options on listed financial and commodity markets. Newedge is a world leader in execution and clearing, and gives clients the opportunity to access more than 85 global exchanges.

Our broad offering extends to cash markets and OTC derivatives in fixed income, foreign exchange, equities and indexes, and commodities including agriculturals and softs, energy and emissions and metals.

Clients also enjoy sophisticated prime brokerage and financing services.

We are in a mode of constant investment in innovation, enabling customers to benefit from advances in Direct Market Access and Straight-Through Processing.
