iTB Holdings has signed an agreement with brokerage company BGC. This enables it to connect directly to BGC’s proprietary US government bond trading platform, eSpeed.
Using iTBconnect, a platform that connects institutional investors to the electronic fixed income trading venues of their choice, traders can benefit from eSpeed’s live and firm US Treasury market liquidity via the same interface they trade corporate and municipal bonds.
“We welcome eSpeed to iTBconnect as it further strengthens our mission to provide clients with single-point access to a selection of high quality fixed income trading venues,” says Michael Chuang, founder and CEO, iTB. “With the addition of eSpeed, our platform gives institutional investors direct and efficient access to one of the deepest pools of liquidity in the US Treasury markets.”
Philip Norton, executive managing director and global head of e-commerce at BGC Partners, says: “We’re delighted to welcome iTB’s customers to the diverse list of clients experiencing the benefits of trading using our sophisticated platform and complete trading solution. We believe a distribution relationship with iTB will bring increased liquidity and improved efficiencies in the US treasuries marketplace.”
iTB also recently connected to NYSE Euronext’s Bonds marketplace.
