About Zaner
Four decades of putting the client first.
Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Chicago between the Board of Trade and the Mercantile Exchange, Zaner Group is now led by the second generation of the family that started it. That continuity is the point: the name on the door answers for the work.
“Named brokers, transparent pricing, and a commitment to staying with you long after your account is opened.”
Reach
Execution and clearing on every major futures exchange worldwide, professional platforms, and commerce infrastructure for the global metals trade.
Transparency
Family owned and operated since 1980, not a private-equity roll-up. Registered with the CFTC, members of the NFA, and accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
Expertise
Named strategists whose analysis the industry quotes, teaching brokers who explain the hedge before placing it, and account teams that stay.
