“

The introduction of new regulatory mandates has focussed our customer’s attention on Repo post-trade workflows, which have been slow to evolve. Following broad engagement via our industry working groups, we’re leveraging our established MarkitWire platform and global community of 2,000+ firms to transform the Repo post-trade lifecycle, delivering a real reduction in cost and risk.
