Background
SuperDerivatives was founded in 2000 by David Gershon, and as of 2014 has over 300 employees in 12 offices globally.[4] Gershon continues to serve as chairman and CEO.
The firm began as a data analytics firm for options markets. In 2004 it expanded into market data, publishing implied data from OTC markets.
In 2013, SDX Trading, a subsidiary of SuperDerivatives, filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to become a swap execution facility (SEF). Its application was still pending in September 2014 when ICE made its bid to acquire the firm. [5]
In May 2014, SuperDerivatives won the award for best derivatives data provider for the fourth year in a row at the Inside Market Data Awards.[6]
