Akuna Capital is an innovative trading firm with a strong focus on cutting-edge technology, data driven decisions and automation. Our core competency is providing liquidity as an options market-maker – meaning we provide competitive quotes that we are willing to both buy and sell. To do this successfully we design and implement our own low latency technologies, trading strategies and mathematical models. Our Founding Partners, including Akuna`s CEO Andrew Killion, first conceptualized Akuna in their hometown of Sydney. They opened the firm`s first office in 2011 in the heart of the derivatives industry and the options capital of the world – Chicago. Today, Akuna is proud to operate from additional offices in Sydney, Shanghai, and Boston. We are the leading options market-maker to successfully enter the industry in recent years with sustainable growth. By providing more liquidity to the markets through rapid innovation, we have the advantage of youth in remaining nimble and agile in an ever-changing competitive landscape. Akuna has no clients or external investors, we trade only with the company`s capital. We have dozens of employee-shareholders and this number continues to grow. We are really proud of what we have accomplished since inception, but even more excited for all that lies ahead of us. We are still building, accessing new markets, trading new products, and creating new strategies, giving you the opportunity to be involved in shaping the future of Akuna. Indeed, the great majority of Akuna`s growth profile is ahead of us.

Eli Global was established by a young entrepreneur almost three decades ago—with no financial backing and a lot of naysayers. He believed that he could take on and beat the market leaders in his industry. Armed with his self-drive, passion, determination and entrepreneurial spirit, he persevered after years of 100+ hour work weeks, numerous failures, worrying about month-end payroll, and even sleeping under his desk at times. He grew his business organically to be the national leader in his industry and then set out to grow even more. The secret to his success? Finding like-minded people who experienced similar hardships and successes. Over the past 25 years Eli Global has grown to partner with over 80 such entrepreneurs, welcoming their businesses to our ever-growing group of entrepreneurial, independent businesses. And this is just the beginning.
Most people would describe us as a global, full-service agency. But we think of ourselves as marketers with great stories to tell. We are positively obsessed with our clients and make it our business to uncover what’s unique about their business. Give us the most complicated product or service offering and we’ll make it easy for anyone to understand, embrace and, most of all, trust. Who we are is really what we do — we make the complex simple. And the simple, very, very powerful. Combining breathtaking design, compelling narrative and cutting-edge technology, we use every tool in our arsenal to illuminate what makes our clients’ products special. We connect brands with the right customers, across a rich and varied landscape of media. We believe in extending the “big idea” beyond traditional media by creating robust digital platforms that connect both on-line and off-line marketing to consumers at the most poignant times and in the most interesting ways. We believe that extraordinary marketing can be both a discipline and an art form. The art is in doing it well. The discipline is in doing it right. We are Designory.
