What is market making?

Market making is the process of providing liquidity in the global financial markets by buying and selling securities. A market maker stands ready to buy or sell securities, providing bids and asks. Market makers provide liquidity by ensuring that there is always someone in the market to buy or sell a security. It is a critical function of the financial markets and ensures that investors have healthy, liquid and robust markets to trade in.
