BM&F Overview
About BM&F
BM&F is the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange, a derivatives exchange based in Sao Paulo that lists futures and options on interest rates, currencies, indices and commodities. It was founded in 1985 as a member-owned exchange and demutualised in 2007 as part of a conversion to a for-profit company. The exchange also operated clearing services for the contracts traded on it. In 2008 it merged with the Bovespa Holding stock exchange to form BM&FBovespa, which was later renamed B3. General Atlantic held about 5 percent of the combined group. The exchange earned fees on contracts traded and cleared, and its customers were banks, brokers, corporations and investors.

BM&F funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2007 | Undisclosed stage | General Atlantic | $537M | $5.4B | General Atlantic agreed on 23 September 2007 to buy a 10 percent stake in the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange for R$1 billion, with a two-year lock-up on the shares. The purchase came as the exchange's owners decided to convert it into a for-profit company, and it preceded the exchange's public offering later that year. The offering valued the exchange at about R$18 billion, giving General Atlantic a paper profit of roughly 80 percent. In 2008 the exchange merged with Bovespa to form BM&FBovespa, in which General Atlantic held about 5 percent. BM&F was the main derivatives exchange in Brazil and listed contracts on interest rates, currencies and commodities. |
