- Expansion of strategic partnership between Tradeweb and FTSE
Russell to produce benchmark closing prices for the U.S. Treasury
markets
- Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury Closing Prices utilize an
enhanced methodology that provides additional transparency into bid
and offer price information
Tradeweb and FTSE Russell today announced that they have
launched Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury Closing Prices, extending
their combined offering of next generation fixed income pricing,
which can be used in index trading products.
Similar to the existing Tradeweb FTSE closing prices for UK
Gilts and European Government Bonds, these U.S. Treasury closing
prices incorporate trading activity from Tradeweb’s electronic
platform, which results in more robust benchmark pricing.
Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury Closing Prices utilize an enhanced
methodology, which facilitates the calculation of bid and offer
prices, capturing transaction costs based on executable pricing
quotes collected through the Tradeweb platform. This is in addition
to mid prices, which are produced for all asset classes. The
pricing data set features comprehensive coverage for a range of
security types including U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, bills,
strips and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), with
both a 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. (New York) snap time.
The extension of closing pricing to the U.S. Treasury markets is
an important step in further expanding benchmark pricing
capabilities across a comprehensive range of fixed income
securities, importantly including USD-denominated credit
securities, for which prices are largely underpinned by U.S.
Treasury valuations.
The enhanced methodology used for Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury
Closing Prices has been thoroughly tested to arrive at an optimal
approach to delivering robust, algorithmic and reliable pricing. In
the near term we plan to incorporate this methodology into our UK
Gilt and Euro Government closing prices, including the addition of
bid and offer prices.
Trusted reference price data is critical for financial firms to
manage investment portfolios, evaluate the fair value of
securities, perform compliance, and satisfy general accounting
standards. Tradeweb and FTSE Russell are committed to the continued
expansion of their benchmark pricing coverage, and the
incorporation of these prices throughout the investment
process.
Lisa Schirf, Global Head of Data & Analytics at Tradeweb,
said: “As we continue to expand Tradeweb’s collaboration with
FTSE Russell, our clients gain access to a broader set of
benchmarks for use as reliable closing prices in their investment
process and end-of-day trading strategies and other purposes. We
believe the Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury Closing Prices will serve
as a unique foundation for the global fixed income markets and
their launch further demonstrates our commitment to the
electronification of the markets.”
Scott Harman, Head of Fixed Income, Currencies and
Commodities Indices at FTSE Russell, said: “The launch of
Tradeweb FTSE benchmark pricing for the U.S. Treasury markets,
represents significant progress in realizing our ambition to offer
the financial markets a better, more representative solution for
valuing fixed income securities. We recognize the criticality of
the U.S. Treasury markets to the investment ecosystem, and the need
to continue to offer innovative benchmark solutions to our clients
for this important asset class.”
These benchmark prices are administered in accordance with the
EU and UK Benchmark Regulation and the IOSCO Principles for
Financial Benchmarks and can be used in index construction, as well
as reference rates for a broad range of use cases, including
trade-at-close transactions and derivatives contracts.
