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. Currently the largest single source of credit data for rated and un-rated entities, the firm draws its credit risk insights from a contributed data model that harnesses the collective intelligence of the world’s leading financial institutions. 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. Customers will benefit from enhanced price discovery, xVA, trading and risk management capabilities. 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. We look forward to working closely with TP ICAP on continued innovations in the credit risk analytics space.”

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. Credit Benchmark’s business model provides a broader and more timely assessment than traditional rating methods. We plan on developing solutions that assist firms with regulations such as FRTB and the addition of Credit Benchmark’s analytics will enable us to better meet the needs of our clients. We look forward to building on our existing relationship.”

The data will be distributed directly and available through TPI.

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.”

All nominations were reviewed by a judging panel and scored on the seniority and influence of their role, their work done internally and externally to champion women, their recent and significant business achievements and the testimonial provided with their nomination.

Singapore

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.

TP ICAP’s Data & Analytics division launches two new data sets for SOFR derivatives

 - Data businesses Tullett Prebon Information and ICAP Information launch two new products to support trading and risk modelling as the SOFR benchmark gains traction -

6 September 2018: TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, has launched two distinct and differentiated data packages for derivatives linked to the Secured Overnight Financial Rate (SOFR) index, through its Data & Analytics division. These two data products have been sourced from TP ICAP’s competing broking businesses – Tullett Prebon and ICAP – using their separate liquidity pools.

Developed from volume observations, modelling and data capture, the new offerings mark a milestone for derivatives trading around the index. Since launch in April 2018, volumes for derivatives tied to SOFR – the LIBOR alternative published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York – have steadily increased. As the list of major banks, asset managers and other institutions using these derivatives grows, the need for an institutional-grade infrastructure to support trading has emerged.

The two data packages have been designed to provide a comprehensive view of the SOFR-linked derivatives markets to support enhanced trading, risk management and analytics, with the two separate data sets providing an overarching picture of the market.

Eric Sinclair, CEO of TP ICAP’s Data & Analytics division, said: “After Tullett Prebon arranged and executed the first SOFR v Fed Funds Basis Swap in July, both businesses have seen an uptick in volumes as institutions interested in the USD interest rate swap market begin to prepare for an upswing in these trades. We are uniquely positioned to offer separate data sets from two of the major liquidity pools for these OTC derivatives, and the pairing of these data sets provides a holistic view of the market at any given time”.

Both offerings include indicative curves, delivered in real-time or end-of-day, for Basis Swaps (SOFR vs 3M $ LIBOR, SOFR vs $ Fed Funds Compounded) and Fixed vs SOFR.

Sinclair continued: “We made the decision to launch these two data products because, from experience, all signs are pointing to the emergence of a robust market. In an OTC marketplace, the more variety and depth that an institution can have using trade data, the more accurate their pricing and modelling becomes. Here, our competing brokerage model serves as a strength in that these two products can be used together to deliver the first comprehensive view into how this market is unfolding.”

For information on data sets from TPI or II, those interested should contact the TP ICAP sales team on sales@tpinformation.com or sales@icapinformation.com.

The Board of TP ICAP plc today announces that Rupert Robson, Chairman of the Company, has informed the Board of his intention to retire from the role on 31 December 2018, the end of the Company’s current financial year.

Rupert joined the Board of Tullett Prebon plc in January 2007 and became Chairman in March 2013. The Board will undertake a comprehensive search for a new Non-Executive Chairman, which will be led by Angela Knight, Senior Independent Director of the Company.

Rupert Robson, Chairman TP ICAP, said: “TP ICAP has undergone enormous change in recent years. It is now the world’s largest inter-dealer broker. It is roughly halfway through the integration of the global voice and hybrid broking and information businesses formerly owned by NEX Group plc, which were acquired at the end of 2016.  After almost 12 years on the Board, and as the Company develops its strategy for the period following integration, it is timely for me to retire at the end of this year. This is part of the process of considering the Board’s composition in the current year, as I flagged in my governance letter to shareholders in the 2017 Annual Report.  I look forward to the continued success of the Company in the coming years.”

John Phizackerley, CEO TP ICAP,  commented:  “We thank Rupert for his enormous contribution to TP ICAP. Under his Chairmanship the group has been transformed, and looks to the future with a clear strategy for growth. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is pleased to announce that, with effect from today, it is ready for the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).

The TP ICAP group has been authorised by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority to operate Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) and Organised Trading Facilities (OTFs).

TP ICAP, the world’s largest interdealer broker, is today pleased to announce that its Group Chief Executive, John Phizackerley, has been named Chief Executive of the Year by FOW Magazine at their International Awards.

The win for John, known to his colleagues as Phiz, came at an awards ceremony held in London last night. It capped off a successful night for TP ICAP as Tullett Prebon was named Interdealer Broker of the Year.

John Phizackerley, Chief Executive, TP ICAP said:  “I am truly honoured to have been chosen as FOW’s CEO of the Year.  There are many CEOs in our industry who are deserving of this title, so to win is a great accolade.  It has to be said, that I didn’t win this award by myself – I am supported by fantastic colleagues across the TP ICAP business.  We are all focussed on delivering the best we can for our clients, and winning this award is the icing on the cake!”

TP ICAP was created after Tullett Prebon completed the acquisition of ICAP’s Global Broking Business in December 2016.

TP ICAP plc (“TP ICAP” or “the Company”) announces that it has today acquired Coex Partners Limited (“Coex”), an independent agency broker.

Coex has offices in London, Paris and New York. It was founded in 2014 and has 55 brokers. The company provides trade and execution services in listed derivatives and OTC foreign exchange to hedge funds, assets managers and other clients.  It is being sold by its management.  John Ruskin and Alex Gerskowitch, the founders and senior management, will remain with the business and continue to build it.

TP ICAP and Coex began working together in 2016 and the acquisition is a natural progression of that successful collaboration.

Coex will become part of TP ICAP’s Institutional Services division which provides high value services, including pre-trade information, market intelligence and intermediation to its clients.  The acquisition continues the expansion of the Institutional Services division’s specialist execution expertise and product range.

The initial payment for the acquisition (including settlement of existing shareholder loans) is £7.1m in cash, and performance-related payments may be made at various dates during the next 4 years. These subsequent payments will be satisfied through the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company or cash, at the discretion of the Company.

For the year ended 31 December 2016, Coex made profits before tax of £2.1m. At 31 December 2016 it had gross assets of £6.5m. Its revenues for the 6 months to 30 June 2017 were £11m.  Coex entered into an appointed representative agreement with TP ICAP in June 2016 and since that date its revenues have been included in the consolidated revenues of the TP ICAP Group.
