Who We Are

Superior brokerage, execution & clearing.

In 1980, Zaner pledged to provide its customers with superior brokerage, execution and clearing in futures. Since then, the business has grown to encompass commodities, options, forex and cash metals — with expanded services including top-notch research, actionable trading ideas, and 24/7 support.

We were established by traders, for traders. That perspective still shapes everything we do: hand-picked clearing relationships, competitive rates, and a team that treats your account like it's their own. Our staff, advisors, trade-desk support and management average more than 14 years of individual industry experience.
