ICAP, part of TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is pleased to announce the launch of its Digital Asset Markets venture, which will initially operate in the cryptoasset derivatives space.

The business has been launched in London, with regional desks in Asia and the United States to follow, offering clients global coverage. Initially, ICAP Digital Asset Markets will provide clients with OTC liquidity in the CME Bitcoin future, with plans to provide OTC liquidity in a Bitcoin non-deliverable forward. 

Frits Vogels, CEO TP ICAP EMEA, said: “We have been closely monitoring the development of this emergent asset class and recognise the transformational effect that the underlying technology could have on our industry.

“While this marks our first step into the asset class, we believe that cryptoassets are only a subset of a wider universe of digital assets that could be created through the use of this technology, and that the tokenisation of value could have application across multiple traditional asset classes.”

TP ICAP is seeking to identify digital asset opportunities and the group is exploring how its global network of trading venues and data services can provide institutional solutions to clients looking to operate within this emergent asset class.

About TP ICAP

TP ICAP is a global firm of professional intermediaries that plays a pivotal role in the world’s financial, energy and commodities markets.

Operating through our core businesses, Tullett Prebon, ICAP, PVM, Coex Partners, Tullett Prebon Information, ICAP Information Services and PVM Data Services, we create strong networks in person and through technology. We provide comprehensive analysis and insight into market conditions and long-term trends. We combine data, knowledge and intelligence into contextual insight and commercial guidance. By engaging with our clients, and providing innovative products and services, we enable our clients to transact with confidence, facilitating the flow of capital and commodities around the world, enhancing investment and contributing to economic growth.

Our values of honesty, integrity, respect and excellence underpin everything we do.

On the second annual National Numeracy Day, TP ICAP’s EMEA CEO, Frits Vogels,  considers the importance of numeracy, the problem of maths anxiety and TP ICAP’s work to improve social mobility.

Those of us who work in financial services are acutely aware of just how critical numeracy is to our economy and to productivity here in the UK. But many of us will take for granted just how much it can impact our daily lives.

Poor number skills can impact all aspects of life – with low levels of numeracy linked to unemployment, low wages and even poor health.

We chose to tackle this issue because we wanted to help remove the barriers that prevent talented people from succeeding, no matter what their background, gender or start in life.

Today marks the second year supporting National Numeracy Day, and I am proud of the progress we have made.

Last year we launched our Everybody Counts numeracy campaign, through which we have set ourselves an ambitious aim of reaching one million beneficiaries across our global markets, to help them improve their numeracy skills over the next three years.

We also became a strategic partner to UK charity National Numeracy and we are now working with them to scale-up their activities and empower 250,000 people across the UK to start improving their number skills.

Cross-industry collaboration will be key to making real change on this issue. In February, we held a dinner with many of our clients, to discuss the underlying causes of poor numeracy and to understand the important work companies across our industry are already taking on this agenda. Building on this, today we will be convening CSR leads from across the City to explore how we can now develop an industry wide approach to tackling low levels of numeracy in the UK.

We know that negative attitudes to maths are the main barrier to UK adults improving their skills, and ‘maths anxiety’ can cause people to feel stressed and anxious about using numbers.

New research from National Numeracy shows us that it is a particularly gendered problem. Their report published on 15 May 2019 shows that fewer women feel confident in dealing with numbers than men.  Some 64% of women sampled said they did not feel confident and three in ten women said that using maths and numbers makes them feel anxious.

It’s a pervasive issue that even affects employability. The same research found that a quarter of people would be put off applying for a job if it listed “using numbers and data” as a requirement;  a figure which rose to 30% for women.

This is particularly worrying for our financial services industry which has a well-documented challenge in attracting women. While there are many factors that contribute to this, a lack of confidence with numbers is causing many people, particularly women, to rule themselves out too early from careers in finance that offer some of the best potential for social mobility in this country.

It is clear this is a key barrier for both children and adults to improving their numeracy, which is why we will be focusing our future work on tackling maths anxiety.

Later this year, we will be launching a campaign alongside National Numeracy based on new research, which will aim to uncover the extent that ‘maths anxiety’ prevents people from improving their numeracy, and in particular, the impact this has on gender disparity in the workplace.

We know we can achieve so much more by working together. Our colleagues will be using their skills and expertise to support the ambitions of the campaign and we want to encourage companies from across the sector to champion this agenda however they can.

I look forward to finding out what we can achieve together as an industry.

ICAP information, part of TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, has launched two new data sets, covering EURO Interest Rate Options (IRO) and Global Inflation. By making this data commercially available for the first time TP ICAP aims to provide market participants with greater transparency in a traditionally opaque asset class. The release of this new data follows ongoing efforts to strengthen the group’s leading position in providing superior data products, working closely with TP ICAP’s Global Broking division. The EURO IRO package, built on ICAP Information’s leading position in the market as a provider of liquidity, offers an unprecedented level of coverage and granularity in this asset class. The Global Inflation package is a broader offering, encompassing a wide variety of inflation data from across the world, including Australian and Israeli data. It marks the first time that such a comprehensive range of inflation data, from across all major regions, has been made commercially available to the wider market from a single source.

Ovie Koloko, Global Head of Product Management, comments:
“Since last year the Data & Analytics and Global Broking divisions have been working closely together in a formalised partnership. The aim being to take advantage of the brokers’ market leading position, gather data from across the business, and make it available to the wider community. Filling existing gaps in quality or coverage, or where information has simply never been accessible before, has been our initial focus. “These latest two products are examples of what the relationship can achieve and we’re confident that these packages will be of tremendous use to a variety of our clients. By disseminating this information more widely, we are aiming to create a virtuous circle. This approach will drive better analytics and services in our Global Broking division, which will ultimately give us better data. This is just the start. Our customers can expect further innovative data packages over the coming year.”

The information contained within both packages will be for price discovery and accurate securities pricing in the front office, as well as risk management, valuation and independent price verification in middle and back office functions. The information also comes with a large amount of historical data.

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is today announcing that its Data & Analytics (D&A) division is embarking on a new partnership with analytics company, Credit Benchmark.

Credit Benchmark is the first financial data company to provide consensus credit risk estimates on a global range of corporates, sovereigns, financial institutions, and funds.

As an alternative source of credit risk, Credit Benchmark scores provide a timely and accurate assessment of risk for roughly 22,000 counterparties globally.

TP ICAP D&A will produce a credit proxy solution, combining market pricing with Credit Benchmark ratings.

TP ICAP will provide Credit Benchmark with data from its Tullett Prebon Information (TPI) business, for research into the relationship between real world and risk neutral credit risk.

Bill Haney, CEO of Credit Benchmark said, “We are pleased to be supporting TP ICAP’s D&A team in enhancing their sector-level credit risk offerings. Not only will this partnership greatly expand the breadth and depth of TP ICAP’s coverage, it will enable Credit Benchmark to broaden the reach of our analytics product offerings.

Ovie Koloko, Global Head of Product Development for Data & Analytics at TP ICAP, said: “There is an opening in this market and we see our existing credit data sales business as a potential area of growth.

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is today pleased to announce that it has signed a commercial lease with British Land to create a new London headquarters at 135 Bishopsgate, Broadgate, EC2.  

The offices will cover 123,000 square feet across the second, third, fourth and eleventh floors of 135 Bishopsgate. It is anticipated that the move date will be in the second quarter of 2020 following the comprehensive refurbishment of the building.

TP ICAP’s Tullett Prebon and ICAP Global Broking Businesses will operate out of this flagship building, alongside support staff and corporate functions. The new offices, which are a cornerstone of the vibrant Broadgate campus, next to London’s Liverpool Street Station, will have physically separated spaces for competing brands, including individual entrances and security restrictions.

TP ICAP has already signed commercial leases to move staff into new offices in major global financial centres including Singapore, Sydney and New York, where 200 Vesey Street in Manhattan will become the company’s North American headquarters. The group has also created a dedicated hub for its Energy and Commodities businesses at The Verde Building in Victoria, SW1.    

Nicolas Breteau, CEO of TP ICAP, said: “This is great news for our London-based employees, who will benefit from the excellent facilities available at 135 Bishopsgate. Our new headquarters reflect the ambition we have for our business and will provide an environment in which our competing brands will continue to thrive. It is also an important landmark in the group’s integration as we reduce our global footprint of offices.”

David Lockyer, Head of Broadgate, British Land, said: “The quality of Broadgate’s offering and the service we provide here has been a key driver in TP ICAP’s decision to remain at the campus. Overlooking one of London’s liveliest streets, 135 Bishopsgate’s refurbishment marks a significant milestone in Broadgate’s evolution into a world class, mixed-use destination where innovation and finance meet. It will deliver a great environment for our office occupiers, and Eataly’s arrival at the building in 2020 will significantly enrich the retail and leisure mix to complement the surrounding neighbourhoods of Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Old Street and the City.”

Pamela Jones, Operational Change Manager at TP ICAP, was named in the FT & HERoes 50 Female Future Leaders category at the FT Women at the Top summit last night. The recognition, marked in a celebration at The Landmark Hotel in London, has been awarded for Pamela’s work advocating women in the Finance industry during her 25 year career.

The award is part of the annual FT & HERoes Champions of Women in Business list, which was launched last year to celebrate female and male executives who have made a substantial difference to women’s careers.

Pamela was listed in the Female Future Leaders category for her charity work focusing on driving gender equality. She is currently an Advisory Board member and Brand Ambassador for Dress for Success, a charity that provides free professional clothing to women from disadvantaged backgrounds; she also mentors students at the Central Foundation Girls School in Bow.

In addition, Pamela is an active Board member and Chair of the mentoring committee of WILD, Women in Listed Derivatives.

Pamela Jones, Operational Change Manager, TP ICAP: “I am honoured to be listed as an FT & HERoes Female Future Leader and Future Leader Role Model. Where so few women who look like me are celebrated for their contribution in this industry, I feel fortunate and privileged to be acknowledged. I’m committed to helping younger women continue to strive and be recognised in our industry, as it is vital that we all continue to see ourselves reflected as successful leaders.”

Frits Vogels, CEO EMEA, TP ICAP: “This is a fantastic achievement and I’d like to congratulate Pamela for being recognised for her commitment to helping others succeed. Pamela has been heavily involved in formalising our own internal women’s network and I know she will continue to be a brilliant advocate for women across the industry.”

ICAP and PVM, part of TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, today successfully completed their move to join Tullett Prebon in the Singapore Land Tower, Raffles Place. Taking approximately 36,300 sq ft of office space over four floors, the move brings brokers and corporate employees from each brand under the same roof. The new offices will be based across levels 38, 39, 41 and 42.  

While TP ICAP remains committed to operating Tullett Prebon, ICAP and PVM as separate and competing brands, this brings the corporate function closer together to enable more efficient support of all three businesses. 

Level 41 is occupied by Tullett Prebon Energy, ICAP Energy and Money Markets, and PVM brokers, all operating in their own secure, independent areas. Floors 38, 39 and 42 are now occupied by Tullett Prebon Money Markets, Management teams, Corporate employees, TP ICAP IT and Support functions. 

Barry Dennahy, CEO, TP ICAP, APAC said: “This is an important milestone for TP ICAP in Singapore. The co-location of all three competing brands will enable us to improve our combined IT infrastructure and achieve significant cost savings. We are delighted with the new office space, which is well located for transport links and nearby restaurants.” 

The corporate address for the new office is: 50 Raffles Place, #41-00 Singapore Land Tower, Singapore 048623.
