Tradeweb Markets LLC, has launched a European repo marketplace. The electronic dealer- to-customer platform mirrors the existing voice and message-based trading process, while enabling efficient trade execution and substantially simplifying the post-trade complexities of collateral assignment and allocation.
Institutional investors across Europe have already shown strong commitment to the platform. In addition to the benefits of speed and efficient trade processing, customers are able to request executable quotes from up to five dealers, which can be viewed in one place at one time, and negotiate rates and haircuts. A full audit trail of activity provides best execution reporting to the buy-side.
鈥淲e continue to be at the forefront of electronic trading in fixed income and derivatives markets,鈥� said Steve Hall, head of Tradeweb鈥檚 international business. 鈥淥ur clients understand the benefits of electronic trading and we are excited about this new opportunity.鈥�
Tradeweb has nine liquidity providers either already live or in the process of technical implementation, and further interest from the wider dealer community. Dealers are keen to provide repo liquidity to their customers, whilst benefitting from efficient collateral assignment and allocation tools, and from straight through processing.
鈥淲e have drawn on our deep understanding of the money markets and our clients鈥� needs, and worked closely with both the buy- and sell-side to develop a marketplace that creates real efficiencies,鈥� commented Nigel de Jong, a director of money markets at Tradeweb. 鈥淓uropean repo is becoming an increasingly important product for institutional investors. Now they can execute across a broad range of European money markets instruments on Tradeweb.鈥�
Users can trade classic repo and reverse repo on tri-party, bilateral general collateral and bilateral specials on terms from overnight to one-year, with forward start capability.
