About our Tokyo operations

Our Tokyo offices played an important part in Cantor Fitzgerald’s history, swiftly developing a name for themselves as leaders in the Asian inter-dealer broking market. They took on their present form as BGC Capital Markets (Japan) LLC and BGC Shoken Kaisha Limited when Cantor separated its voice brokerage business to create BGC Partners L.P. in October 2004.

Our Japan offices use BGC’s own innovative technology to guarantee access to the quickest, most efficient trading methods available. With over 25 years of experience in the business BGC’s Tokyo offices can offer their customers unrivalled expertise.
