US-headquartered Jump Trading has picked Amsterdam for its post-Brexit base in Europe and told a group of London-based traders that they could soon be relocated to the Dutch capital.

Jump, a prominent proprietary firm, has informed around 12 traders at its City offices that they could be shifted to Amsterdam before the end of the year, according to a person familiar with the firm's Brexit planning.
