Tullett Prebon has been named the inaugural Interdealer Broker of
the Year at the Futures and Options World International Awards
2012.
The awards, which celebrate innovation in the derivatives
industry, were judged by an independent panel of market advisers
and consultants and this year featured an interdealer broker
category for the first time. The results were announced at a
ceremony in London last night.
The judges highlighted a number of factors contributing to their
decision including:
-- Tullett Prebon's recent gains in market share in existing and electronic
hybrid offerings, in particular with respect to the Asian and Chinese
markets;
-- The consolidation of and increased leading position in the global power
markets;
-- The innovative launches of tpSWAPDEAL, tpMATCH NDF and tpSPOTDEAL;
-- The successful acquisitions of Convencao and Chapdelaine & Co in the
Americas;
-- The "strong innovation" displayed by the Tullett Prebon Alternative
Investments team; and
-- The notable strides made in increasing market transparency by Tullett
Prebon Information.
Tullett Prebon's success builds upon its strong performance in
the recent Risk Magazine 2012 Annual Interdealer Rankings in which
the business was named the overall number one interdealer broker,
dominating 15 out of 24 FX categories as well as performing
strongly in the Interest Rates and Credit categories, with 14 and 7
number one rankings respectively.
Last month, Tullett Prebon was also named Best Broker for
Forwards FX for the 12th year running and Best Broker for Currency
Options for a second consecutive year in the annual FX Week Best
