Definition(s)

  • A market maker is a bank or brokerage company that continuously publicly displays (quotes) ask and bid prices (for a guaranteed number of shares) at which they will sell or buy during the trading days. This financial operator ensures the liquidity and efficiency of the financial markets (making easier the trade of blocks of shares) and, therefore, reduces the transaction costs.
