MMI’s growing focus on the emerging markets trading community have driven the expansion. MTS BondsPro volume from emerging markets from 2018 to 2019 more than doubled, consistent with a growing interest in electronic trading of emerging market fixed income securities by global investors.

David Parker, Head of MTS Markets International commented:

We are delighted to extend access to our rapidly growing MTS BondsPro global fixed income community to a wider set of global market participants. This is a sign of growing global electronic volumes and a reflection of the increasing appeal of the all-to-all trading model for fixed income traders. We look forward to improving our access and service to our clients while welcoming new joiners to the BondsPro community.
