The Frontier Futures Legacy
Family-Owned, Farmer-Focused
Headquartered in Iowa, Frontier Futures is an independent brokerage founded in 1984 by Kent Johnson, who began the firm from his passion for trading and serving others with a skilled eye for commodity hedging and risk management.
In the early 1990’s, Kent’s son, Ted Johnson, joined the firm and expanded Frontier Futures’ discount brokerage services, opening a Minnesota and Kansas City location before moving to Cedar Rapids. Ted took the helm when Kent retired and has built out a full-service family team focused on training and nurturing nationwide.
Weathering 20+ years of economic and global volatility, Frontier Futures stands as a time-tested pioneer of brokerage service through Midwestern family values combined with customized brokerage and risk management ideas.
