Metals
We're active in base metals, precious metals, steel and iron ore, offering multiple access points, help, experience and solutions for whatever price risk you face, or liquidity you require. We are a Category 1 member of the London Metal Exchange (LME) and a full member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
Base Metals: We execute and clear a significant proportion of the market activity on the London Metal Exchange (LME), the world's largest non-ferrous metals exchange. We also provide access to the CME’s base metal futures and options contracts on its COMEX exchange and copper on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE).
Precious Metals: We provide access to OTC and exchange-traded futures and options contracts for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, covering all hedging and speculative requirements.
Steel and Iron Ore: We provide execution and clearing for cash-settled and physically delivered futures, options and swaps in the steel and iron ore markets, for both exchange and OTC traded contracts.
Fixed Income
We offer access to the worldwide fixed income markets with both electronic (FIX) API and voice-execution solutions. We also provide trade assistance and liquidity sourcing for an extensive range of markets.
As part of a broader service, our Fund Services team offers specialist support and trading ideas from experienced market professionals with decades of experience specialising in a wide variety of instruments.
Foreign Exchange
Through our financial strength, expertise and established infrastructure, we provide superior FX liquidity and a full range of FX services. We offer this through direct relationships with many top-tier banks, regional specialists, select non-banks and three prime brokers.
Our in-house experts provide personal service, customising liquidity pools and solutions to suit your needs. Clients can monitor their positions with our real-time FX trade and risk-reporting portal. Our product offering includes FX spot, forwards, swaps, OTC options, NDOs, NDFs, and deliverable FX across multiple execution venues. We also offer third-party credit intermediation, direct ECN access, and FX clearing.
eFX: We provide customised eFX solutions to a wide variety of global institutions, including banks, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and retail brokers. We offer superior liquidity through our relationships with top-tier banks, regional specialists and select non-banks who offer a true risk price. Our scale and position in the markets means we can offer individually tailored competitive pricing, minimising your trading costs.
FX Options: OTC FX options have traditionally been dominated by primary-dealer banks and a small number of inter-dealer brokers. Electronic access to truly competitive pricing and independent pre-trade analytics has been limited, until now.
Deliverable FX: We provide an extensive deliverable product offering, with same-day payments, together with forward FX hedges, flexi-forwards, and time options, covering a comprehensive spectrum of currency pairs. You can control how and when you execute transactions through market, limit or stop loss orders by voice or through one of our electronic solutions, all with highly competitive pricing. In addition, our 24-hour service and your own account manager mean you can manage your FX risk at any time of day.
