Empowering Customers to Unlock New Financial Markets with Ease
Connecting you to new opportunities
Ongoing global demand for access to the US securities market – the largest liquidity market – is driving growth and high demand for access to this financial region.
The U.S. equity markets represent 42.6% of the $115.0 trillion in global equity market cap, or $49.0 trillion; this is 3.9x the next largest market, the EU. With U.S. fixed-income markets comprising 39.3% of the $140.7 trillion securities outstanding across the globe, this is also 2.1x larger than the EU market. Entities globally, whether EU, Asian or trans-American, need secure, resilient and always-on access to this fruitful trading ecosystem.
