Old Mission operates as a market maker that focuses on providing liquidity for complex and less commonly traded exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The company facilitates the buying and selling of these financial products, which can be difficult to price due to their illiquid nature. By doing so, Old Mission helps large financial institutions manage and transfer risk effectively. What sets Old Mission apart from its competitors is its emphasis on building strong relationships with clients and a collaborative team environment, which enhances their service quality. The company's goal is to ensure that their clients can efficiently navigate the market, particularly in challenging trading conditions, while maintaining a commitment to long-term interests.
