MTS and Newedge launch Agency Cash Management (ACM) platform for tri-party repo market
- Transparent, electronic platform offers investors access to low-risk, secured money market investments - Offers benefits of tri-party repo to the buy-side and delivers new pools of liquidity to the sell-side - Provides access to wholesale pricing with cash placed via daily cash auctions
London, 7 February 2012: MTS, Europe's premier facilitator for the European fixed income trading market, has launched its Agency Cash Management (ACM) platform, a new electronic auction facility for the tri-party repo market. The platform, which has already registered its first trades, has been launched in association with Newedge, a global leader in multi-asset brokerage.
The ACM platform enables investors to enter into secured money market investments using the tri-party repo mechanism*. It has been launched in response to increasing demand from institutions for an innovative solution to the cash management challenges currently being faced by both the buy- and sell-side. The platform uses the same technology that facilitates the MTS fixed income trading market, combining secure investment opportunities with the high levels of transparency offered by electronic trading.
Under a repurchase agreement, also known as a repo or sale and repurchase agreement, investors lend cash for a short period of time to another party. Financial securities are used as collateral for the loan, together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the security at a pre-agreed rate of interest and an agreed term.
The ACM platform creates an alternative to the traditional suite of unsecured money market products, and offers access to low-risk secured investment opportunities for buy-side institutions such as corporates, asset managers, bank treasurers, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, securities lenders, insurance companies, banks and hedge funds.
By bringing a new pool of cash providers to the market, the platform will also benefit banks facing continued pressure to diversify their sources of funding in the face of new regulations planned under Basel III.
The ACM platform allows investors to select acceptable counterparties, rating of collateral, currencies and trade duration. Collateral is held in a segregated account in the investor's name at an established tri-party agent, typically a highly-rated custodian bank, and is subject to transfer of ownership that can be sold on demand if the counterparty defaults.
Oliver Clark, Money Market Product Manager at MTS, said: "The successful launch of our new Agency Cash Management platform addresses the demand for an innovative cash management solution for both banks and buy-side investors. ACM introduces the tri-party repo mechanism to a new group of participants in the form of corporates, hedge funds and securities lenders in a competitive, electronic auction platform. The cash providers benefit from the security of tri-party repo in place of unsecured money market products and their counterparty banks with an alternative source of funding."
Angela Osborne and Ulf Bacher, Co-Heads of the Agency Cash Management business at Newedge, added: "The new ACM platform has opened one of the biggest money market products to a new audience that will ensure best execution for cash investments via our auction methodology.
"Newedge is delighted to be working with MTS on this initiative. Our partnership brings together market experience and best-in-class technology to offer the benefits of tri-party repo to the buy-side whilst delivering new pools of liquidity to the sell-side."
The ACM operates as a Multilateral Trading Facility (as defined under MiFID regulation and FSA supervision) by EuroMTS Limited.

Notes to editors:
* Repo and Tri-Party Repo A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo or sale and repurchase agreement, allows an investor to borrow cash for a short period of time from another party using financial securities as collateral for the loan, together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the security at a pre-agreed rate of interest and an agreed term. A repo can be conducted via the tri-party repo mechanism in which the settlement process is administered by an independent third party known as a tri-party agent. The agent, usually a highly-rated Custodian bank, ensures both the cash and collateral are exchanged within a legal framework that recognises full transfer of title.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GROUP plc
INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD TO 26 JANUARY 2012, INCLUDING REVENUES AND KPIs FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 (Q3)
· Continued strong operational and financial performance in Q3
· Total income up 17 per cent on Q3 last year at £196.3 million (up 13 per cent on organic constant currency basis); 9 months year-to-date up 19 per cent, to £582.8m (up 18 per cent on organic constant currency basis)
· Post Trade Services total income increased 50 per cent, driven by further sequential (over Q2) growth in treasury management income from clearing operations
· Capital Markets revenues decreased 4 per cent with growth in annual fee income, derivatives revenues and Italian cash equities trading offset by lower IPO activity and weaker fixed income and UK cash equities trading
· Information Services revenues rose 24 per cent in total, reflecting operational growth and the initial benefits of the FTSE acquisition which includes adjustment to royalties previously recognised 3 months in arrears; organic growth was good at 4 per cent, with increases in both real time data income and revenue from other information products
· Technology Services revenues up 15 per cent, mostly driven by growth from MillenniumIT
· Acquired the outstanding 50 per cent of FTSE, giving the Group full control of this strategically important, high growth global indices business - FTSE EBITDA for the year ended 31 December 2011 grew 34 per cent to £53.6 million
· Exclusive discussions with LCH.Clearnet and broader related stakeholder engagement continue
Commenting on performance in the past quarter, Xavier Rolet, Chief Executive, said:
"This has been another good quarter, with strong momentum and top line growth of 17 per cent. As well as a very positive organic performance, we successfully completed our acquisition of FTSE. The new opportunities that come with full control of this high quality, fast-growing international business are significant, and we look forward to developing these with our customers. "Our diversification strategy continues to pay dividends and the breadth and balance of our offering gives our portfolio a good element of natural hedge, making us well-placed to drive the ongoing performance of the Group. We remain firmly committed to enhancing the Group's competitiveness, focusing on our customers and to developing our wide range of products and services."
Financial Position
During Q3 there was a net outflow of cash, including £428 million for the acquisition of the 50 per cent of FTSE International Limited that the Group did not own, £53 million (€62 million) for the purchase of a 13.6 per cent stake in CC&G from Unicredit S.p.A and £15 million for acquisition of the FSA's transaction reporting service, TRS.
At the end of December 2011, Group net debt had increased to £582 million (or £747 million after setting aside the cash held for regulatory and operational support purposes). As reported at the time of the FTSE transaction, the pro forma leverage of the Group has increased to 1.6 times net debt:adjusted EBITDA, based on EBITDA to 30 September 2011 and on a pro forma basis to include 12 months FTSE EBITDA. We expect that our positive net cash generation will start to reduce our leverage.
To underpin the Group's financial flexibility in connection with our ongoing discussions with LCH.Clearnet, a new £350 million committed revolving credit facility was signed on 15 December 2011. This facility expires if these discussions are terminated.
Although there was little change to the euro:sterling rate in Q3 compared with the equivalent period last year, the euro has weakened in recent weeks. To illustrate our exposure to movements in this exchange rate, a €0.05 decrease in the average euro:sterling rate would have resulted in a reduction to total income of c£4.3 million for Q3.
FTSE International Limited
Financial results (unaudited) for FTSE International Limited, for the 12 months ended 31 December 2011, confirm a continuation of strong growth. Revenue increased 21 per cent to £119.1 million and EBITDA grew 34 per cent to £53.6 million.
Current trading and Outlook
The Group is well positioned and continues to make progress in executing its stated strategy to 'get in shape, leverage assets, and seek opportunities'. The Board expects continuing good overall Group performance during the final quarter of the financial year, reflecting the resilience of the business and strength of the portfolio's offering. However, the Group is not immune to the current weak market conditions. The fourth quarter has started with subdued secondary market trading, with average daily value traded in UK cash equities down 3 per cent on Q3 although volume traded in Italian cash equities is up 4 per cent on Q3. MTS fixed income trading and IDEM derivative volumes are down on average daily levels in the prior quarter. Information Services, Technology Services and Post Trade Services are all performing well, with net treasury income unaffected by slowing trading levels so far in January.
The Board remains committed to delivering growth through leveraging the many assets within the business, whilst maintaining focus on improving competitiveness, cost management and efficiency.

LSE in trade repository talks By Jeremy Grant http://on.ft.com/uedCcF London Stock Exchange is in talks with UK regulators on the possibility of establishing a trade repository, or electronic data storage warehouse, that would handle over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The move is another sign that Xavier Rolet, chief executive, is diversifying the businesses beyond share trading. The LSE this week agreed to pay £450m to acquire the FTSE International stock index business from Pearson, the education and information group, using existing funds. The reporting of trades in ways designed to make it easier for regulators to see who traded what, at what price and with whom is a key thrust of G20 reforms agreed after 2008. One aim is to help watchdogs spot any build-up of excessive risk in the system early on. That has highlighted the role of trade repositories, which will collect such data under the Dodd-Frank Act in the US and similar proposals planned for Europe. The LSE has collected data on transactions in the UK equities markets since 1989. The system was expanded in 2007 when the Financial Services Authority implemented Brussels rules which expanded the range of tradable assets captured by the reporting requirement, and handing that function to approved reporting mechanisms of which the LSE was one. This year the LSE bought the FSAs trade-reporting system, the Transaction Reporting Service, and is migrating its users over to UnaVista, the LSEs transaction reporting system. It is the UnaVista business that the LSE is talking to the UK regulator about the possibility of turning into an OTC trade repository, according to Mark Husler, head of business development for the LSEs information services group. He said that, based on this years transactions volumes reported to UnaVista, the system was likely to process 1bn transactions next year. That currently includes OTC derivatives, fixed income and on-exchange derivatives. We are asking the regulators what they would like to see given that we are already sitting on a lot of the UK data for transactions, Mr Husler said. However, the LSEs plans would pit the exchange against The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, which already operates a large US repository. Last week, it announced a global OTC interest rates derivatives trade repository, based in London. |
