The Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association (WMBA) is a London-based financial markets body representing the world’s nine largest inter-broker dealers such as BGC, Icap, GFI, Tradition and Tullett Prebon. Its members trade in a wide range of OTC products and derivatives across capital markets, including credit default swaps (CDS).
According to the Financial Times, this once low key organisation 'has become more high profile as inter-dealer brokers push aside rivalry and seek to prevent what they fear could be collateral damage from the current push to “re-regulate” swathes of the financial industry'. [1]
Contents
Activities
According to WMBA's website:
- London money brokers are the dominant force in wholesale broking internationally with a product base which has grown from routine foreign exchange and money market loans and deposits to embrace bonds, equities and commodities, and their derivatives. The brokers provide the essential oil to the wheels of the dealing markets and their activities reflect the continual change taking place in these markets, particularly in the development of new financial instruments.
