BondVision Growth Accelerates
Milan, 21 July, 2005 – BondVision,
the B2C (Business-to-Consumer) arm of the MTS Group, today
announced the accelerated growth
of its market with an increase of 75% in volumes in the
first half of the year versus the same period of last year.
Daily volumes have surpassed €5 billion as second
quarter volumes topped €120 billion. Enhanced dealer
pricing engines as well as additional clients in France,
Switzerland and the UK have spurred trading activity.
The range of securities has also expanded
with the introduction of bonds from the new EU member states.
Tradable securities
now number over 1,000, the largest amongst all B2C electronic
marketplaces. BondVision will be listing sovereign issues
from Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, enhancing
its offering of euro-denominated securities to its client
base.
In addition, a new technical enhancement,
an API solution for clients and salespeople, was recently
introduced. This
unique feature in the B2C market allows for full integration
of execution with both pre- and post-trading activities.
As a result of this API solution, independent software
vendors together with portfolio and order management
system software providers are now offering BondVision participants
the efficiencies and cost reductions already available
to MTS inter-dealer participants.
