NEW YORK, NY (December 2, 2016) – Tradeweb Markets, a leading global provider of fixed income, derivatives and ETF marketplaces, announced record volume of $7.9 trillion in November, the most active month of trading across its platforms since the credit crisis.

Tradeweb volumes and trade counts peaked in the two days following the election, but showed sustained activity across a wide range of asset classes, market participants, and on- and off-the-run securities over the following weeks. On the Tradeweb Institutional platform, the growth represents a 32% increase in November trading volume to $5.1 trillion year-over-year. <http://www.tradeweb.com/uploadedFiles/Tradeweb/Content/Media_Center/Company_News/Press_Releases/12.02.16%20-%20Tradeweb%20Records%20$7.9%20Trillion%20in%20Biggest%20Volume%20Month%20since%20the%20Credit%20Crisis.pdf>

 “Trading volumes have continued to increase on our platforms throughout November, beginning with volatility immediately around the election,” said Lee Olesky, Tradeweb Markets CEO. “While bond markets have fallen significantly in recent weeks, we are seeing widespread increases in activity across all types of institutions, and in all ranges of maturities.”

The Tradeweb institutional business saw significant year-over-year growth across macro asset classes, including:

Macro products comprised the majority of Tradeweb Institutional trading in November 2016, led by mortgage backed securities, government bonds, and interest rate derivatives. And products that saw 2016 volume highs in November across many of its 20+ asset classes include:

- U.S. Treasuries
- U.S. and European ETFs
- European Government Bonds
- European Repo
- U.S. Investment Grade and High Yield Credit
- Japanese Government Bonds

Olesky added, “This could be the beginning of a long-term change in market behavior, with the continued likelihood of rising interest rates, possible policy shifts from the Fed, and new expectations for inflation. If the broader asset management community is restructuring their portfolios over the next year, we may see growing trading volumes in light of increased volatility and shifts in fundamental investing strategies.”

Tradeweb Markets also operates wholesale and retail marketplaces with Dealerweb and Tradeweb Direct, which saw significant increases in trading in November. Combined with institutional volumes, Tradeweb Markets Overall volume reached its highest level since the credit crisis with $7.9 trillion traded in November.
