Mako Global

Mako Global is a proprietary trading firm, not a vendor or service provider for family offices. Founded in 1999 through a management buyout of a London-based options trading company, Mako operates as a market maker, providing liquidity to global derivatives markets primarily through options. Its business is built around two internal functions: trading and technology, both developed and operated for the firm’s own account.

The firm’s technology infrastructure, developed over more than two decades, supports low-latency trading applications that connect Mako to exchanges globally. Internally developed and not offered as a product to outside clients, this infrastructure underpins Mako’s proprietary trading operations rather than serving as a platform for external users.

Mako’s global footprint spans seven offices:

• London and Dublin (European operations)
• Amsterdam (opened 2019)
• Singapore and Chengdu (Asia)
• Sydney and Brisbane (Australia)

The firm has no disclosed offering directed at family offices, wealth managers, or private clients. There is no evidence of a client-facing product, advisory service, or outsourced function available to external buyers. Mako Investment Managers launched a fixed income fund in 2007, and Mako Global Investors was established in 2012, but neither of these is presented as an offering for family office clients on the site. Pricing, onboarding, and integration details are not applicable. Family office teams evaluating vendors for portfolio management, reporting, or advisory functions will not find a relevant offering here.
