What We Do

In March of 2002 Belvedere Trading emerged as Chicago’s newest market maker soon to join the ranks of the Windy City’s elite proprietary trading firms. Armed with printouts of Excel workbooks and a team of eager minds Belvedere established their place in the SPX pit on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. From the beginning we have iteratively invested in our proprietary technology and made a commitment to building our software systems from the ground up. Due to our ultramodern proprietary technology and risk management capabilities Belvedere is able to quickly capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered optimized and maintained to stay on top of the industry. Building and nurturing a strong culture is one of Belvedere’s highest priorities and we are always looking for the best and brightest talent to help us in our continued success.

Why Work With Us

At Belvedere our differences are what allow us to compete and succeed at the highest level. Our Culture Committee and Women’s Initiative elevate the voices of our teammates to further promote an inclusive workplace. It is our priority to foster a sense of community and belonging for each team member while supporting individual development.
