Institutional markets

A fund or a broker depends on a small number of market relationships. If one of them tightens its terms or withdraws, trading can stop until another is in place. The second and third relationships are harder to open than the first. It is easier to open them while the first is still working.

We work with hedge funds, asset managers, brokers and trading firms. We introduce the prime brokers, liquidity providers, custodians and credit providers they trade and settle through.

In FX the work covers credit intermediation and give ups, ECN and bilateral liquidity and NDF streaming. Beyond FX it covers precious metals in London, fixed income and repo, listed futures and options and OTC derivatives. Custody, settlement and collateral management sit alongside.

Some firms offer markets to their own clients. For them we cover white label and introducing broker arrangements, API and FIX connectivity and reporting providers for EMIR and MiFIR.

Before any introduction we establish what the firm trades, with whom and on what credit. The provider then sees the whole picture at the first conversation.

Each provider gives its service under its own authorisation and terms. We do not arrange or execute transactions.
