Our Heritage

TP ICAP Group’s heritage dates back to 1866. It was then that Matthew Marshall Junior – the son of Matthew Marshall, the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England from 1835–1864 – set up shop with Joseph Rich in the heart of the City of London.

More than 150 years later, and our company has changed beyond recognition. Today, TP ICAP Group is a world-leading provider of market infrastructure, specialising in connecting market participants to deliver superior liquidity and data solutions.

We continue, though, to stay true to our roots, operating at the heart of wholesale markets, with an enterprising spirit, and championing innovation, to best meet the needs of our clients.
