Why Altura Markets?
Altura Markets is the brokerage firm of reference for execution and clearing of exchange traded derivatives in the Iberian Peninsula. Operationally positioned as another Newedge branch, Altura Markets gives access to derivatives markets worldwide, combining local presence with global reach. The support of three of the most important banks in the Eurozone provides us with the necessary strength on our balance to fulfill our long-term objectives.
Altura Markets is an equal joint venture between BBVA and Newedge, and in just 10 years has become a leading brokerage firm in futures and options in the Iberian Peninsula. The success of Altura Markets is based on the compatibility of its two shareholders, Spain’s second bank BBVA, and Newedge, the world’s most important brokerage firm in execution and clearing of listed derivatives.

This combination allows us to be at the forefront in relation to connectivity, accessibility and products, which, combined with our local presence, sets us apart from our competitors.
Our goal is to ensure our clients’ benefit in an impartial manner, removing any kind of conflicts of interest.
According to Risk Magazine, our clients have recognised our work over the past five years as the best derivatives brokerage in the Iberian Peninsula.
With more than 3 000 people working in the derivatives industry worldwide and with over 60 staff in Madrid, we have great confidence that we have enough solvency and size to live up to our client and business commitments.
