BondVision Achieves Record First Quarter Volumes

MTS S.p.A. today announced that BondVision, its B2C platform, achieved record volumes of €57.5 billion in March and €155 billion in the first quarter, up 42% versus the first quarter of 2005. Of note, covered bond trading was particularly strong, up 113% compared with the first quarter of 2005. Volumes were driven especially by institutional investor (asset managers, central banks, insurance companies and hedge funds), which accounted for more than 75% of total volumes.

Additionally, a new release of the BondVision system was successfully deployed to all clients in March with the aim to introduce inventory pages for credits and to list U.S. Treasuries. The two recent initiatives come in response to client requests for a multi-asset, multi-currency platform on which they can execute their day-to-day business.
