ICAP, part of TP ICAP group, a leading provider of market infrastructure, is pleased to announce that its 28th annual global Charity Day will be held on Thursday, 10 December 2020.
Each year, ICAP Charity Day raises money for charities across the globe, with 100% of the revenues and commissions generated on the day donated to a variety of worthy causes. Charitable partners being supported this year can be found here.
This year’s ICAP Charity Day is set to take on a new, ‘virtual’ format, given the Covid-19 pandemic. Charities, celebrity patrons and ambassadors will support the event via online channels to raise awareness of this year’s causes and support ICAP’s brokers while they close deals.
Since it began, ICAP Charity Day has raised some £150 million, and supported around 2,500 charitable projects around the world.
Nicolas Breteau, Group Chief Executive Officer, TP ICAP, said: “This year, more than ever, we know that the charity sector is in great financial need. The health and economic crisis presented by COVID-19 has impacted everyone across the globe, and we want to continue to support charities to help the most vulnerable in society. This year’s event may look different, but what will remain the same is the energy and commitment of our brokers and clients to make ICAP Charity Day a resounding success and raise important funds for our charitable partners across the globe.”

Background Information on Charity Day
ICAP Charity Day was founded in 1993 to grow its charitable giving programme through an innovative fundraising initiative that would make a significant difference to charities. Made possible through its unique position in the financial markets, the Company and its brokers committed to donating all revenues and commissions on one day a year, to a select group of charities around the world to guarantee that they would receive a sizeable contribution to fund much needed projects and initiatives. Now in its 28th year, ICAP, its customers and partners have collectively raised nearly £150 million to date and supported more than 2,500 projects worldwide. www.icapcharityday.com.

A new trading system to manage residual risk in fixed income portfolio
TP ICAP, a leading provider of market infrastructure, has launched MATCHBOOK ReBalance, a new electronic trading solution that reduces residual risks in fixed income portfolios.
MATCHBOOK ReBalance is a pure-electronic solution used across Emerging Market, Investment Grade, High Yield, Financial and Sterling Corporate Bonds. The platform runs matching sessions allowing traders to clear up unwanted positions and mitigate secondary risks in their portfolios.
It forms part of TP ICAP’s growing portfolio of post-trade risk management and optimisation tools, including MATCHBOOK Rates, which enables traders to minimise fixing risks in Forward Rate Agreements (FRAs), and MATCHBOOK NDF, which reduces date mismatch risks in Asian and LatAm NDF markets. TP ICAPs bilateral compression service, ClearCompress, is also part of this valuable suite of solutions.
MATCHBOOK ReBalance uses TP ICAP’s proprietary “dark pool” technology ensuring the details of orders and trades are closed and therefore no information is leaked into the market. Clients can upload their entire portfolio onto the platform and then choose what they want to trade, with price parameters, rather than search through hundreds of line items.
Mark Russell, Chief Commercial Officer, TP ICAP Credit, said: “MATCHBOOK ReBalance gives our clients a simple, easy to use system that will allow them to reduce residual risk. This platform helps eliminate the time consuming task of trading residual risk, providing our clients with a fresh turnover and a cleaner balance sheet; allowing them to spend more time focusing on client flow and less time on admin-heavy stale positions.”
It is separate from the broking side of TP ICAP and operates as a purely electronic and regulated venue.

TP ICAP Data & Analytics aggregates ICAP, Tullett Prebon and PVM data via SURFIX
TP ICAP Group, a leading provider of market infrastructure and OTC data, today announces that its SURFIX market data feed is now live. This is a market-leading service which enables customers to receive all TP ICAP market data via a single consolidated feed, rather than through multiple different feeds.
In what is a market-leading move, TP ICAP shared FX, money markets, rates and derivatives data from its Tullett Prebon and ICAP brands with German bank, L-Bank. FIX has become the chosen electronic communications protocol of global financial markets and SURFIX, which is based on FIX 5.02, allows for a greater breadth and volume of TP ICAP data to be shared with clients via one single feed.
Jonathan Cooper, Global Head of Sales, TP ICAP Data & Analytics, said: “By introducing SURFIX we are able to provide a fast and reliable stream of data directly to clients. As a major provider of market data, we’re able to share data for all security types, from all brands, directly with our clients, enabling us to meet their enterprise needs and reduce the total cost of ownership.”
L-Bank and TP ICAP partnered with oraise, a leading information technology services company, to complete the SURFIX connection, enabling L-Bank to seamlessly integrate TP ICAP data within its workflow requirements.
Manuel Räber, CEO oraise, said: “We are very pleased to have partnered with TP ICAP on SURFIX, enriching our SnapFlux market data hub with a valuable data source for our customers, providing them with ever more choices in meeting their specific market data requirements.”

Numeracy: the issue
Nearly 80% of the UK adult population have numeracy levels below the equivalent of a GCSE ‘C’ grade, and 49% are at a level expected of children at primary school. The National Numeracy 2017 YouGov poll revealed a quarter of people (25%) said they do not feel confident with maths.
This can make people more vulnerable to unemployment, debt and fraud. It also means the UK risks becoming less competitive internationally and costs the country billions each year.
Addressing the issue
The issue is not just about people's competence with numeracy, it is about their confidence and attitude to the subject too.
But this can be overcome, and the first ever Number Confidence Week aims to help people take the first step towards feeling good about numbers, so that they are better placed to build their number skills, which in turn will help to help millions get on in the workplace, manage money or help children with their schoolwork.
Why is TP ICAP the founding partner?
According to our report, The Confidence Gap: Women and Number Confidence, 78% of young British women would not consider a career in financial services, with nearly half saying that a lack of confidence with numbers is a reason for this.
As an industry, addressing this would help improve gender diversity, as well as broader social mobility.
This is just one reason why TP ICAP is a founding partner of Number Confidence Week. We want to support our strategic charity partner National Numeracy to empower people from all backgrounds to build their numeracy skills, to help them get on in life, and pursue employment opportunities in financial services.
And we’re not alone - joining us in our efforts are Olympic champion Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and school maths teacher and TV personality Bobby Seagull.
Activities TP ICAP will support as part of the week include:
• TP ICAP and National Numeracy publishing a short report: The Confidence Gap: Women and Number Confidence. The report examines the extent of the number confidence gap in the UK and how this might affect women’s career prospects, as well as suggesting ways businesses can help close the gap.
• Releasing an inspiring social media video series featuring real life stories from women working in financial services, including TP ICAP.
• Hosting a webinar for young women aged 16-19 to hear from inspirational women working in the financial services sector about how they overcame barriers, including number confidence, to build successful careers in the sector.
• Encouraging people to join the 300,000 others who have already started improving their numeracy with the free online tool, the National Numeracy Challenge.
