Tradeweb Markets Inc. (Nasdaq: TW), a leading, global operator
of electronic marketplaces for rates, credit, equities and money
markets has announced that FTSE Russell will make a price source
change to include Tradeweb FTSE benchmark closing prices for U.S.
Treasuries, European Government Bonds and UK Gilts in FTSE’s global
fixed income indices, including its premiere World Government Bond
Index (WGBI).
FTSE Russell disclosed this change during its semi-annual
country classification announcement on October 8th, 2024. The WGBI,
which was launched 40 years ago, measures the performance of
fixed-rate, local currency, investment-grade bonds and comprises
sovereign debt from over 25 countries, denominated in a variety of
currencies, and with a market value of more than $30 trillion. The
inclusion of Tradeweb FTSE Closing Prices is expected to go into
effect in March 2025.
These benchmark prices are administered by FTSE Russell in
accordance with the EU and UK Benchmark Regulation and the IOSCO
Principles for Financial Benchmarks and can be used in index
construction, as well as reference rates for a broad range of use
cases, including trade-at-close transactions and derivatives
contracts.
Lisa Schirf, Global Head of Data & Analytics at Tradeweb,
said: “The World Government Bond Index is FTSE’s flagship global
index and a leading global benchmark for fixed income markets. The
inclusion of Tradeweb’s benchmark closing prices in FTSE’s indices
validates our continued commitment to develop the next generation
of fixed income pricing and index trading products for traders and
investors worldwide.”
The existing partnership between Tradeweb and FTSE Russell was
announced in October 2023 and included the development of benchmark
closing prices, which would be administered by FTSE Russell and
derived from trading activity on Tradeweb’s platform. In June 2024,
Tradeweb announced the launch of Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury
closing prices, utilizing an enhanced methodology, which also
facilitates the calculation of bid and offer prices. Most recently,
this methodology was extended to UK Gilts and European Government
Bonds and is available for clients today.
Scott Harman, Head of Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities
at FTSE Russell, said: “We’re pleased to announce the price source
change within our global fixed income indices to include Tradeweb
FTSE closing prices for these significant global rates markets. It
ensures our indices continue to incorporate transparent,
representative data sets across the diverse universe of fixed
income markets that they track. Additionally, FTSE Russell’s
benchmark administration of these prices brings a new level of
transparency and rigorousness to the valuation of fixed income
markets and our indices.”
In addition to providing benchmark closing prices, Tradeweb
plans to expand and enhance electronic trading functionality for
FTSE Russell Fixed Income indices and customized baskets through
tools and protocols such as RFQ (request-for-quote), AiEX
(Automated Intelligent Execution tool) and Portfolio Trading,
offering trade-at-market close, trade-at-month-end and other
features conducive to index rebalancing trades. For clients seeking
to efficiently express a view on FTSE Russell indices and baskets,
providing enhanced trading functionality can help efficiently
manage what are often their largest and most critical trades.
FTSE Russell is a business owned by the London Stock Exchange
plc (“LSEG”). LSEG is the controlling shareholder of Tradeweb.
