Who is BGC?
BGC’s origins date back to 1945 when B. Gerald Cantor founded what became Cantor Fitzgerald. In 2004, Cantor Fitzgerald separated out its voice brokerage business to create BGC Partners L.P., which listed in 2008 on Nasdaq as BGC Partners, Inc. (BGCP). BGC has grown rapidly since its separation out of Cantor Fitzgerald through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Today, BGC has approximately 2500 brokers and salespeople and in excess of 6500 employees in more than two dozen locations around the world. BGC’s brokers are supported by dedicated back office staff and unmatched proprietary technology equipped to handle virtually any financial trade globally.
