Financial Markets

Wholesale market participants use our broking services to assess trading availability and execute trades.

We specialise in being an intermediary between financial institutions, such as investment banks, investment firms, market makers, corporates, central and regional banks, local authorities, and money markets funds.

In several asset classes, our award-winning platform Fusion enables clients to enter prices and execute trades electronically, supported by our brokers for price discovery and trade negotiation.

We seek to add value by facilitating:

Efficient Trading

We help institutions find counterparties for financial transactions quickly and efficiently. This is especially important in markets where large volumes of complex financial instruments are traded.

Anonymity

We offer a level of anonymity for clients, which can be crucial when trading sensitive instruments or large positions.

Price Discovery

We contribute to price discovery by aggregating buy and sell orders and providing indicative pricing information. This is particularly important in over-the-counter (OTC) markets where prices may not be readily available.

Multiple Markets

We provide access to multiple markets and exchanges, allowing institutions to execute trade globally across a broad range of assets classes, including Rates, FX, Local Markets, Credit, Equities, Fixed Income and Money Markets.

Market Insights

Our expert brokers offer market insight to our clients, helping them make informed trading decisions.
