Company Reports

We are adjusting our view of Tradeweb's competitive position as the rapid adoption of portfolio trading continues to shape fixed-income markets and a major rival is set to be acquired by Intercontinental Exchange.

Tradeweb is a leading platform for electronically trading fixed-income products and derivatives. Unlike many competitors that focus on a particular bond type or market segment, Tradeweb offers a broad scope, trading nearly anything related to fixed income, including derivatives, as well as some equity exchange-traded funds. This strategy gives the company multiple growth drivers, benefits across trading segments, and reduced exposure to any single asset class.

We see strong strategic and financial logic to Tradeweb’s purchase of Trumid. The acquisition will likely make Tradeweb the market-share leader in US corporate bonds and extend the firm's reach into new-issue trading, an area where it has historically been underpenetrated.
