Tullett Prebon

Tullett Prebon plc is one of the largest global inter-dealer money brokers in the world.

Activities

In May 2012 the company released a briefing paper, 'How Britain is using spin to con the bond markets', which its author Tim Morgan argued showed how "the tale of ‘big’ cuts in public spending is a bare-faced deception".

Earlier in the month the UK broker said it had made cuts to over 90 brokers in the first quarter of 2012 as part of efforts to slash annual costs as the impact of thin trading volumes continues to bite across the financial sector.

Interdealer brokers provide voice and electronic broking services to banks and traders in a variety of financial instruments, including equity markets, commodities, foreign exchange, interest rates and credit. According to Financial News, they 'are well-positioned to benefit from regulatory change in the US and Europe that will see the bulk of the $600 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market migrate towards electronic trading'.
