Multi-Dealer Trading Platform for TBA-MBS
May 8, 2001 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - TradeWeb LLC, an
online bond market, has opened its trading platform for TBA
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), the most liquid sector of
the mortgage-backed securities market.
Reported by Camilla Klein
Global institutional investors can now simultaneously access all TradeWeb’s MBS dealers including :
- Credit Suisse First Boston
- Deutsche Bank
- Goldman Sachs
- Lehman Brothers
- Merrill Lynch
- Morgan Stanley
- Salomon Smith Barney
The launch follows a two-month trial, during which approximately 40 institutional investors and dealers traded 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate TBA-MBS.
Trading volume during the trial exceeded $45 billion, with an average trade size of over $25 million.
Subscribers will have access to live two-sided pricing for the TBA coupon curve directly from the dealers. TradeWeb displays the best bid and offer price for each security on pricing screens.
