TP ICAP Group plc (“TP ICAP”), a diversified global markets infrastructure and data solutions provider, today announced that it has launched the brand Parameta Solutions.

Parameta Solutions is the new identity of TP ICAP’s data and analytics and post-trade offerings.  The business provides clients with unbiased OTC content and proprietary data, in-depth insights across price discovery, risk management, benchmark and indices and pre and post-trade analytics.  Its nascent post-trade solutions offering will help market participants control counterparty and regulatory risks through a growing range of tools that manage balance sheet exposure, as well as compression and optimisation services.

Nicolas Breteau, CEO of TP ICAP Group, said: “The Parameta Solutions business is an engine of sustainable growth and diversification for our Group.  Its strategy is to develop new products, provide new methods of distribution and grow its client base by expanding its presence with the buy side.

“Giving the business a new, distinct identity will accelerate the execution of this strategy, better enabling it to develop new partnerships, work with third party data sources, and diversify its offering beyond raw data to include benchmarks, indices and post trade solutions.”

Eric Sinclair, CEO of Parameta Solutions added: “By providing valuable OTC market data, we make it easier for our clients to manage complex markets where quality pricing data is scarce.  We aim to develop our offering to provide tailored data-powered solutions that create possibilities and value, distributing these solutions from enterprise to cloud delivery, via channel partners, or direct via the Parameta Solutions webstore.”

Parameta Solutions is the flagship brand of TP ICAP’s Data & Analytics division, which in 2020 posted a 9% increase in revenues (in constant currency) at £145m.  Other brands within the division include Tullett Prebon Information, PVM Data Services, ICAP Information, Liquidnet Investment Analytics and Burton-Taylor Consulting.
