The first few months of 2019 have turned out to be very successful for Eurex Repo. Not only were we able to welcome ten new clients to our Repo markets since January; there are another ten buy-side clients in the process of onboarding, mainly pension funds and insurance companies.
The cleared volume from buy-side clients has grown to almost EUR 17 billion since the beginning of Q2. Those volumes will also be considered for the performance of banks that participate in the Repo Partnership Program.
“It's very satisfying to see that the banks that have joined our Partnership Program are now benefitting from increasing buy-side trading volumes,” comments Carsten Hiller, Funding & Financing Sales at Eurex Repo.
The Eurex Partnership Program has been extended to Eurex Repo starting February 2019. The aim of the program is to increase choice and efficiency for market participants in Special Repo and General Collateral instruments and to foster adoption and growth in the dealer-to-client repo business. Currently, 29 banks across Europe have joined the Repo Partnership Program.
